The Ruby Dress Circle Skirt Constructions includes:
- Attaching the Circle Skirt to the Bodice
- Sewing and finishing the back seam

Step 1: Attaching the Circle Skirt
- RST (right sides together), pin the bodice to the circle skirt. Pin the skirt to the fashion fabric only (not to the lining)

Check the length and adjust if necessary.
Step 2: Sewing the back seam on Skirt
- Serge or zigzag the back raw edges (It is easier to do now than after attaching the zipper
- RST (right sides together), pin the skirt back seam making sure the waist is aligned.
- Leave 6″ on the skirt for the zipper and stitch the seam using 5/8″ seam allowance.
- Press the back seam open
Step 3: Finishing the hemline
