Steps for sewing the dress for girls
When all the pattern pieces are cut out and ready, follow the steps below to sew them together.
Step 1. The back cutout detail in the neck area has a 10 cm cut. Edging the cut with gray edging tape.
Step 2. Sew the front and back pieces together at the shoulders and side seams.
Step 3. Cut a 6 cm wide and about 60-70 cm long strip from the colorful fabric you use for the skirt detail. Wrinkle the strip and sew it with the gray edging around the neckline. We sew the strip from the inside, then it is easy to finish the hem nicely from the right side.
Step 4. Edge the sleeve part with gray edge banding.
Step 5. Sew two bands 3 cm wide and 45 cm long. They widen to 5 cm wide at the end. The bands smooth out and sew to the sides of the torso.
Step 6. Sew the skirt at the waist and fold the bottom of the skirt. You can make several pleats if the skirt is wider than the waist.
Step 7. Finally, make a clasp on the back near the neckline. Make up a narrow strip fold it in half and sew it to one side. The loop you make must match the size of the button. On the other side, sew on a small button.
Good luck.
