Burda Style For people who sew

Pin the open top ruffle edges together and stitch using basting stitches, _“ (1.2 cm) from the edge. Trim the allowance to _” (1.2 cm). Trim the allowance of the neckline on dress and lining to _’ (1.2 cm) (a).

Fold in the lining seam allowances and hand stitch on the zipper strips. Pin the bottom edges of dress and lining together (e)
