Sew a Newspaper Dress

Step 14Sew a second waist seam

Sew a second waist seam
-Measure 3 1/2 inches up from the original waist seam you sewed on the pleated pieces.

-Sew a seam around the entire dress that is 3 1/2 inches above the original waist seam.

-Make sure the pleats are completely flat and folded where you sew this seam.

-This seam will be at around the height of an empire waist, whereas the other waist seam is near your natural waistline. It will help to shape the dress in a more flattering way.
