    I am sewing the birthday party dress and i am having trouble with the hem facing. I understand how to attach it but even after i fold the edges back my facing is still shorter than the dress by about 2 inches. I have checked all of my seam allowances and made sure i cut out the right size on all the pieces. I managed to attach the front facing correctly. Any ideas what i’m doing wrong? I’m making a size 6 by the way

    I suspect it must have something to do with the button plackets and how they fold back. Can you post a picture?

    I’m having the same problem as Heidi had with the hem facing. My dress is a size 6 as well. Did she find a solution?

    Never mind….I have added half an inch to the end of each hem facing pattern piece and recut. It fits perfectly now.
