Sewing Hourglass Dress – Hem & finish the dress

hourglass dress hem

Serge or zig-zag the edge.

Press if the fabric has stretched a bit. And hem the bottom using your preferred method. You can use the coverlocker or zig-zag. I chose the invisible hand stitch. Press when done. The dress is almost ready!

Measure and mark where decorative buttons must be sewn. Sew the buttons.

Enjoy your new dress!
