Burda Style For people who sew

Trim seam allowance to 1/4" at center back and around the neck (cut away 3/8"). Evenly space button loops, position, and pin on the left center back. For some types of lace, you can: Pin bias, right sides facing, from left center back, around neckline, and down right center back. Stitch at 1/4". Fold bias over raw edge, fold under again, and, from the right side, stitch in the ditch, catching the under side of bias. Repeat for armholes (between ‘A’ marks). If you are using guipure, you have to hand stitch the casing. You can look at our step-by-step instructions in our techniques section for finishing Guipure lace (see link).
