Step 7Hem the dress
iImage Information

This sounds very difficult for some people. You can do this a few different ways. You can handsew the hem or you can machine stitch the seam. The last way is to use a nifty little product called fraycheck and glue the rough edge so it won't unravel in the wash (however, if you're partial to the frayed edge look, just throw your dress into the wash a few times and you will have some nice frayed edges).
I put mine up on the sewing machine and selected what my booklet calls the hem stitch and did it that way. You can use any kind of stitch you want for your hem.
