Sorry this is so late, apparently I picked up a flu thats going around and had a really rough day.
Tomorrow's post will be a little late too because I didn't get any sewing done but i'm going to try to get it up earlier than today.
Ok well here we go on to part three, the skirt.
Step 1: Lay skirt tops with outsides facing in on top of each other lining up the edges.
Step 2: Pin front of skirt to back of skirt.
Step 3: Sew front of skirt and back of skirt together.
Step 4: Place contrast strips on top of each other with outsides facing in, and pin
Step 5: Sew Contrast strips together forming one continuous band.

Step 7: Sew skirt to contrast band.
Step 8: Take both bottom trim pieces and lay them face together and pin the sides.
Step 9: Sew the bottom strips together forming a continuous strip.
Step 10: Pin the bottom strip to the contrast strip.

Here is what your skirt should look like now.
If you have a ruffler foot attach it to your machine now.
Step 12: using your ruffler foot sew around the skirt following the directions that came with your foot.
If you don't have a ruffler foot, go here for step by step instructions on how to gather the top of your skirt.
Here is what your gathered/ruffled skirt should look.
Step 13: Turn your bodice inside out.
Step 14: Slide skirt (outsides together) into bodice so the waist of the bodice and the waist of the skirt meet.
Step 15: pin bodice to skirt.
Step 16: Sew the bodice to the skirt making sure to cover your stitches from ruffling/gathering the skirt.
What your dress should look like now!
