Hi Brenda,
Yes I cut the bodice pieces, then cut the facing piece out on the pattern, then cut the fabric facings. But for some reason my shoulder seams don't match in width so there's an extra roughly 1 cm on the back shoulder than the front
it's not like the width of the facing is 1cm so it's an odd amount!!
Yes I agree I stabilised the neckline straight away and have made the full facing piece before zigzagging the edges, much easier.
Really frustrated because on the sleeve the tab doesn't seem to fit the slit either
