The final episode of the sew along. I turn my attention to the sleeves. I create the lovely 'V' shape at the cuff which wil be turned back. I sew the underarm seam and set in the sleeve to the bodice finishing with the top-stitching. The sleeve head does not need to be gathered as there is very little easing. This is a drop shoulder stye. Finally I measure up the hem, blind-stitch and top-stitch and the dress is finished!
