Join bodice with front section
Close darts on lining and on outer fabric (Fig.15). If necessary, topstitch the darts on the
outer fabric so that the pleats don’t stick out.
Mark the points of the bodice and lower-front section according to Fig. 16.
Sew together lower-front section and bodice such that the additional widths are
gathered, or adjusted to the underbust seam by means of gathering threads.

Tip: When sewing together the sections, begin at a side
seam and sew up to the point marking in the centre-front (Fig. 17).
Snip the point on the bodice up to 1mm short of the marking, then sew the second side.
Trim and neaten seam allowances and press to the lining or outer fabric.
Baste or understitch edges if necessary.
Sew lining- and outer-fabric sections together along the neckline edge.
Trim seam allowances; snip in the neckline point, neaten if necessary, and iron to the
bodice.
Side seam
Close left side of top in one go; trim and press seam allowance.
Tip: With very delicate fabrics, the seam can be sewn with an overlock rolled seam.
Alternatively, neaten the seam allowances individually.
