bloomingdales mini dress NWOT grey knit Ruched details Aqua - Smocked Mini Dress

you do not need to do the shirring in the back for the lining, but I like to do just one line of shirring so that it gathers a little it may still help to cut a small piece of interfacing and attach it to the back of the front bodice around that little "U" shape to help keep that looking spiffy, as shown in this pic: for the fully lined version, you need to sew the neckline, armholes and side seams in the exact same way as I sewed the bodice lining in my Bodice Lining Video Series (specifically, you should watch videos III, IV, V) Finally, if you want to make it sleeveless : I usually trim 1/2" off of the outside of the shoulder along the armhole (front and back, and linings) to make a narrower width over the shoulder

A caplet comes with this dress as well

Fabric : Soft Organza with Floral Print Pattern
