STEP 2. Make the back strap. Continue where you left off, see if you
are already satisfied with the width of the strap then proceed to Row 1. If
you want to have a thinner strap, continue making rows with decreases.
Once you get the preferred width for your strap, proceed to Row 1.
Row 1 to Row (n): Ch 2, DC in every rows until you reach your
measurement (E). Then make few rows of dec until you have one st left.
The end of your straps should be pointy.

the same process as the LEFT back panel, as well as the straps.

 PART IV. PEPLUM

STEP 1. Lay your work flat, with the bottom of your back panels facing
away from you.

STEP 2. Fold your back panels(right side). Insert your yarn and connect
your back panels using a sl st. Refer to the illustration below.

LEFT BACK PANEL USING A SL ST.

 PART IV. PEPLUM

Note: Repeat row 2 if you are already satisfied with the increase/ volume
of the peplum.
For reference, I made 3 rows.
STEP 4. Edging ( for the top). Make a row of HDC. Fasten off.

SKIRT
If you will be making the dress, just continue making V-stitch rows. Make
an increase in your butt area by making double V-stitches rows. Repeat
the process until you are satisfied with the length of the skirt. The dress
should be flowy and may look like a balloon dress. Refer to the illustration
below.

Edging (for the skirt of the dress) : Ch 2, [ 3 DC, Ch2, 3 DC] in every V-
stitches across. Fasten off.

 PART V. RUCHING

STEP 1. Start making the ruched part of the front panel. Flip your work
to the other side (wrong side). Lay your front panel flat and mark its
center.
STEP 2. Make enough numbers of Ch, this will serve as the string for
the ruch. ( For reference, I made 80 Ch)
Insert each ends of your Ch to the left and right side of the marked part
of your front panel. Insert it alternately in between rows. Once you reach
the bottom of your front panel, gently pull the string and tie it.

WRONG SIDE RIGHT SIDE
