do I prepare facings for the neckline, since pattern doesn’t include one? The dress is going to be used as a costume.

    The easiest way to do this is to trace the neckline on to tissue paper and then follow the same line about 4 or five cm below, at the shoulder edge remember to add seam allowance ready for when you sew the front and back facings together, this method also works for sleeve-less dresses/bodices. I’ve used thismethod on several occasions – particularly when I’m being lazy and don’t want to line a garment. T x x x

    You might be able to just use a use a strip of bias binding fabric. This article shows how to do it on a sleeveless top: http://www.threadsmagazine.com/item/14530/3-neat-edge-finishes-for-the-sleeveless-styles-of-summer
