Catalina Dress tutorial

Instructions

Place front and back pieces together and sew the side

Place the bodice and the facing pieces together and sew along the neckline area and the armhole.  Remember to follow the marks in the neckline to leave 2 openings for the elastic

IMPORTANT!

while taking the pictures i noticed that you should close the other sides (the wrong side from the picture below) first.  i made that mistake and i had to change it later.  sorry for that.

Picture

Turn around and press it flat.

Picture

Gather the skirt and adjust to the waist size

Picture

Elastic strap:  close both sides of the elastic strap and turn to the right side.

Picture

Place the elastic inside of the neckline strap.  use a safety pin to pull the elastic easily.

Picture

Stitch both sides to keep the elastic in place.

Picture

Place the elastic strap in the neckline openings.  Pin the area and sew along.

Picture

Remember to leave an inch on each side of the neckline area without topstitchig, so you can put the zipper easily.
Picture

Place the zipper on the side.  Here is  a tutorial for zippers.

Make the buttonhole opening in the back bodice strap.

Place the button on the front bodice.

Picture

Attach the skirt to the bodice, First on the front bodice.
