SIDE SEAM
4. Place A and B right sides together. Only pin the right hand side of the
dress, as we need to open it out to add the pocket casing. Pin the side seam
of your dress starting from the sleeve, matching up the waistband notches,
the pockets and the hem. At the pocket, mark the side seam and
pocket seam allowance 1.5cm. Where the seam allowance marks cross each
other is where we will pivot when we sew this section.IMG_0788 IMG_0787

6. Snip into the seam allowance on the underarm curve and
iron open the seam allowance.

If you are not putting in inner pockets, sew as above, ignoring the
pocket opening notches.
