14. Fold down the top edge 3/8″ and press.
15. Fold down once more 1″ and press, then sew in place along the bottom folded edge. Backstitch the beginning and the end. Repeat with the other dress side.
16. Place both dress pieces with right sides together and pin the right side. Then sew in place along the dashed lines. Serge/zigzag stitch the raw edge.

17. Unfold your dress and place it with right sides down and place your binding tape underneath.
18. Place the unfolded binding tape with right side down onto the bottom edge of the dress and pin both edges together. Then sew slightly underneath the bottom crease as shown with the dashed lines. The distance should be about 1/8″ below the crease.
19. Fold the binding tape around to the other side of the dress, basically wrap the tape around the bottom edge.
20. Pin it in place and sew it down with a seam allowance of 1/8″ as shown on the dashed lines.

    How long does it take to get the secret password via e mail? It is now 3:49 in the afternoon and I started signing up at 9:30 this morning! In fact, I signed up on several of other patterns on the website. Hmmm, I know I am old (67) but not senile I am capable of following directions even at my age. I read through your comments as well so I know I’ve read every step to getting the magic word. Any change my granddaughter will get the dress before she graduated from high school?

    I want to try this pattern. I have beautiful fabric that I want to use for it. If I want just one fabric, no panels, do I just deduct seam allowances ( 3/8 *2) from the total width? Might be a silly question but I’m new to sewing!
