Hi Mia,
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a bubble dress (so cute!) but ni, there aren’t any exposed seams.
You create the outer bodice, then a similar bodice lining, then sew them together all around the neckline and armholes.
It’s a lovely clean finish.
You can look ahead in the pattern instructions to see how it will come together or just…[Read more] -

When sewing (step #11)the under arm seam,bodice to the back, will there be an open unlined seam here? I hope this makes sense. Thank you in advance.
