However, this hemline is supposed to be uneven, and the directions state that the bottom edges are finished before the side skirt seams are sewn, so I thought it would be a fun change of pace.<br /><br />That being said, circle skirts are notorious for stretching, so I would highly recommend constructing the entire garment and leaving it to hang for at least 24 hours before touching the hemline!Laura Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01288197213619181028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823578805242157520.post-76780775803194774962012-09-11T13:37:32.069-07:002012-09-11T13:37:32.069-07:00Do you usally hem the skirt part of a dress first....Do you usally hem the skirt part of a dress first. I ask because I making a mock up version of a dress, a lined full skirted type. I am about to hem it and there is quite alot of fabric there from the dress part and the lining and I thought if I had hemmed it first it may have been better. But then again I read I have to leave it to hang for 24 hours first.
