In this session, I demonstrated how to finish our fitted dress form cover.

I showed the steps to insert a zipper at the back, and finish the raw edges around the armholes and neckline using hand stitching.

Lesson Steps:

• Draped the muslin fabric on the dress form to create the fitted shape
• Inserted a zipper at the center back for easy removal
• Hand-stitched the armholes and neckline edges to secure them
• Trimmed and finished the side seams by folding under the raw edges
• Discussed options for finishing like bias binding or blanket stitching
• Emphasized the importance of hand sewing for clean finishes on the thick layers
• Showed how to mark the waistline shaping over the bust
• Explained how to remove and store the cover without losing its shape
