How to Fully Line a Bodice Without Handstitching from Tangible Artiste
Long title right? I hate hand-stitching! My Grandma gave me a quilt top that I am going to finish that was completely hand-stitched, you know what I Said? “That person was crazy!” Don’t get me wrong I completely admire those who have the patience to neatly feed the needle in and out for every seam but that is not me. I would have been a terrible homemaker in the 19th century!
If you’ve sewn with any dress pattern where it is fully lined I’m sure you’ve seen “hand stitch shoulder seam closed.” Well here is a trick/ technique to help you.

 Stitch all bodice pieces together, my zipper was positioned in the back.

 Do the same with your lining.

 Lay lining on top of your bodice right sides together and pin an 1″ away from each shoulder seam

 stitch necklines and armholes stopping at each pin, this is very important

 trim your seam allowance or notch it to get a nice clean curve. with your bodice laying flat, turn the front piece of your bodice right side out, but leave the back bodice.

 next take the right side of your bodice and insert it into the right side of your back bodice, lining up the shoulder seams and pin lining to lining and your outer fabric to your outer fabric

 next pull your bodice further through your shoulder seam until you see stitches, now you will stitch the seams closed across your shoulder seam.

 fold it right side out and iron

It’s so clean looking and no worries of hand stitches not holding up to the rigorous child’s play. If you’re having a hard time following the steps feel free to leave a comment or message me. I’ve found it’s best to do the step by step while sewing, because some things are just easier to understand when you’re own hands are working it.
