Burda Style For people who sew

Adding in sleeves
Pin sleeves right sides facing, at first only pin them at the lower part of the arm line; sleeve and side seams as well as the horizontal lines 10 of sleeves and arm line meet. Then pin the shoulder mark (horizontal line) of the arm base to the shoulder seams and pin the remaining arm bases. Fold in the sleeve coming from the sleeve side. Try on the dress and control the position of the sleeves. Stitch the sleeves coming from the sleeve side, starting above the side seams. Stitch close to the basting stitches to make sure that the basting thread can be torn apart easily. Trim seam allowances and place them inside the sleeves.

Seam
De-baste seam allowances, fold inside, iron and sew loosely by hand.

Organza Inset
Pin organza inset onto the placket, fold in at the ends of the zip slit. Stitch inset neatly along the edges of the velvet band
