Help? I’m having some major issues with the back of the francaise. I can’t get the lining to sew to the back.
See how it’s fitted to the body underneath the pleats? How on Earth do you get it to fitted and attached? I just need to attached the lining and fit the back and it’s done!
As much as I adore Janet Arnold sometimes her patterns stress me out. If you have any links to tutorials, advice, general help, anything at all would be appreciated!
Thanks so much lovesxx
(Also, please excuse the fact that I defaced these beautiful gowns with my photoshop fail.)

They have a ridiculous amount of extant garments and if considerate you are allowed to properly study and photograph them as leisure… not much help I am sure but hopefully it will set you in the right direction. (Apologies for the 3 posts!!)

Lift up the boxpleats (if you have not yet stitched them down to the lining) and sew the back to the lining using running back stitch in a line running up the back, the stitching shows, must be done by hand

If you imagine the pleated section as a large box pleat, it seems as if it has been sewn closed underneath, almost to the waist, effectively creating something of a CB seam. Then I suppose it’d be boned as usual.

So some really great suggestions however there is nothing like having multiple methods of explanation :) I know I can...

When I have seen these made in costume shops, there is an added panel on the inside of the garment connecting the two sides of the fitted portion that laces closed. If that isn’t clear enough, hit me up in my ask!

This looks like something I’d be handstitching with a tiny invisible stitch if I were doing it. Otherwise, I have no idea! Wish I did!
