The seams allowances are hidden inside.
I try to superpose them correctly
Then I take a pin and I pi the fabric to make in stay in place so that
the 2 seams are corresponding. (Fashion fabric and lining)

I pin the back seams together,
the side seams together,
the straps seams,
and when it's done, I try not to move anything
and I put the pins just next to the seams.

This way, it won't be annoying when we'll use the sewing machine.
My method to sew the lining to the fashion fabric
is a kind of scandal for historical costume makers,
but I don't want to make something clean and quick,
I don't pretend that my method is correct at all,
it is not,
my method is the modern one,
it is not made to be seen in close up,
the hand sewing method is the best of course.
It's not historical at all.
Now you're ready to sew, nothing is supposed to move.
Now you're ready to sew, nothing is supposed to move.
You'll have to sew all along the existing seams:
this one,
this one,
and the middle one.
And now we're going to hem the edges of the bodice,
And now we're going to hem the edges of the bodice,
we'll hem this part here,
that I'm going to pink (because it's curvy)
and make a little hem.
Same for the collar.
When it's curvy you generally always have to pink the fabric a little.
Here's what I mean:
I take my scissors and I'll pink the bottom of the fabric

You can make little triangles or only cut the fabric
*It's obviously out of the frame*

and I make the hem.

Waist,
collar,
and you can also do it for the front closure.
When everything is pinned, I take my strong white thread,
When everything is pinned, I take my strong white thread,
I double it so it will be even stronger.
It means that I'll have 2 threads, with a
notch at the end.

Here's my notch ,
and here we go!
I suck at sewing by hand, I know that this is not really clean.

I make large stitches, but it doesn't matter as long as it's strong.

HEre's what you've got along the waist,
along the collar.
Concerning the front, you should hjave made fittings to know where to hem.

The edges should match perfectly.
Concerning the front closure, there are different methods.

If you want something very "18th"
don't put anything, they used to pin their dresses to the corset,
Concerning the front closure, there are different methods.
You can also use hooks and eyes tape, like me.
Take your tape and cut a band that is as long as the front;
Take your tape and cut a band that is as long as the front;
cut it and sew it.
You'll maybe need to try several times to learn
exaclty where to sew these 2 parts so they stay invisible when the dress is closed.
it's because of the many tensions of the fabric.
That's why you'll maybe need to put the tape back to the inside.
It's not easy to make them look invisible.
I take boning and I put it in the front closure,
we need this part of the dress to be really straight
or you'll have some "waves" between each hook/eye.

I take the boning and I can put it directly into the hem or in the tape.

You can also sew directly the hooks/eyes by hand of course.
But you won't have this tape channel :)
But you can still use the hem or bias tape :)

Here's what you've got! Don't forget the sticking plaster on the boning,
in the video I was just showing where to put it,
but really don't forget this step.
Here's the result at the end of Step 4
You now have an "almost-finished-bodice"!
In the next step, we'll learn how to make...

THE SLEEVES!
We all hate sleeves!
I'll show you my method, and I hope that it will help you.
Thanks again for watching!
