Shirred Dress Tutorial
"This video sewing tutorial will show you how to make your own dress pattern for your own body shape from a few simple measurements. The whole of the bodice uses shirring to create a perfect fit so there is no need for buttons, zipper, darts etc. This tutorial shows you step by step instructions on how to sew the dress including tips on shirring and shirring troubleshooting. This dress is best sewn with woven cotton fabric."

Great tutorial! I had a number of questions (all answered) about the process, as there are many examples of things that need shirring. Now I just need to give it a try. Thanks, Linda.
