Sewing Instructions

Fold sleeve pieces in pairs, right sides together, and stitch along the bottom edge. Press the seam. Open the pieces. Along the seam, stitch with elastic thread, placing the elastic on the lining side.
Attach the sleeves to the back and front. Press the seam towards the sleeve. Stitch the side seams, overlock the seams, and press them towards the back. Finish the armhole with bias binding.
On the skirt pieces, stitch the side seams. Overlock the seams and press them towards the back. Overlock the center back seam separately and stitch from the bottom to the notch. On the chiffon pieces, topstitch the seam allowances along the slit.
Assemble the skirt pieces in the following order: bottom layer — silk, then the chiffon underskirt, and then the chiffon upper skirt. Pin the skirt pieces at the waistline and then treat as a single-layer piece. Along the waistline on the skirt, stitch with loosely tensioned stitches and gather. Attach the skirt to the bodice. Overlock the seam and press upwards.
Insert the zipper into the center seam, not catching the chiffon pieces. Fold the bias binding in half lengthwise, right side out, and press. Place the bias binding on the right side with the neckline edge and stitch. Clip the seam. Fold the bias binding to the wrong side and topstitch along the fold. Turn the ends of the bias binding inwards and secure.
Finish the hem of the skirts with a rolled hem, gently stretching the edge.
Turn under the edges of the satin ribbon twice by 0.7 cm and topstitch. Cut the ribbon into 2 parts and topstitch at the level of the side seam. Decorate the front of the dress with silk or organza flowers.
