Cutting: Lay the pattern pieces on the fabric according to the layout guide. Cut out the fabric pieces accurately.
Sewing: Follow the instructions to sew the dress, starting with the bodice, then attaching the skirt. Use a sewing machine for straight seams, and a serger if available, for finishing the edges.
