Then it gets inserted into the dress, this way the edges are all hidden and it looks nice and neat inside. I do it exactly like this;<br />http://notesfromamadhousewife.wordpress.com/2012/08/15/inserting-a-shirred-back-panel/<br />Except I also thread 6mm elastic through the very top channel to keep it sitting flush.<br />Hope that helps!Suzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02665152222823096026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480003611864749979.post-15559126700758939182014-08-20T09:00:17.309+09:302014-08-20T09:00:17.309+09:30Love the dress.
