Ruby Dress: Attaching the Circle Skirt

This post may contain affiliate links.

The Ruby Dress Circle Skirt Constructions includes:

• Attaching the Circle Skirt to the Bodice
• Sewing and finishing the back seam
• Finishing the hemline

 

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)
• Serge or zigzag the waist seam and press towards the bodice.

 

This is a good time to try on the dress and make any final adjustments.

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

• Serge or zigzag the hem

 

Now take a picture of your dress and post it in our  MHS Sewing Facebook Group.

Next, we attach the zipper.
