Step-by-Step Construction Highlights

Assemble Yokes & Bodice

Finish the center-back yoke edges with a narrow hem. Attach front and back yokes at the shoulder seams, then sew side seams on the main bodice.
Prep & Sandwich the Big Ruffle

Join the 4 ruffle sections into a continuous loop. Hem the outer edge, gather the inner edge to match the yoke seam line, and sandwich it between the yokes and the lower bodice.
Set Sleeves & Add Shirring

Set the sleeves into the armholes. Finish sleeve hems with two parallel rows of elastic thread bobbin stitching for a soft, gathered cuff.
Finish the Neckline & Fasteners

Gather the narrow neckline ruffle and baste it around the neck edge. Encase the neckline raw edge using the bias binding strip. Finally, form 3 cord loops on one back yoke edge and attach matching buttons on the opposite side.
