Sewing Down the Side Seams of the Dress

Now we need to sew down the side seams of the bodysuit. The bodysuit is made of fine highly resilient mesh fabric so it's best to use the invisible seam stitch for the side seams (it is available on a regular household sewing machine). You could also sew the side seams with the help of an overlocker but it makes them thicker.
I sew mine with the regular elastic machine stitch – the invisible stitch. Just make sure the seam is slim and elastic, there are no other requirements.

I check the quality of the seam: it shouldn't tear when you stretch it.

And I sew down the other side seam exactly the same way.

Then I carefully flatten and even out the seam allowance on the table. And I turn out the bodysuit. The seam will look good on the garment in wear.

At this point we can work on the panties: sew down the bottom seam and finish the raw edges.

In fact in my case I won't finish those raw edges because my skirt is made of delicate fabric and I don't want any seams showing through. It’s enough to just even them out.
Instead of making a snap closure on the bodysuit I simply sew it down. Trust me it is convenient enough whereas using a snap closure would be rather complicated with a narrow skirt like ours.
To make it less complicated let’s sew down the bottom seam of the panties later: we will need to put the garment on the dress-form again and that would be quite challenging with that seam sewn down
