Firm stuffing in the head and bun is essential for structure and pin-holding
Waist shaping is created by decreasing in the body before working the skirt
Bangs can be created with loop stitch, surface crochet, or sewn chain pieces
Granny squares should be sewn securely to belt on 3 sides (bottom and sides), leaving top open for tools
Belt placement should be visible over the dress, positioned around the waist area where the skirt flares
Straps are optional but add a nice detail to make the dress look more like a two-piece outfit
