You've gathered the back neckline haven't you...it's time to gather it as tightly as you can...secure the pulled thread around the nail several times and secure...I now take the glue gun and put a fairly good amount of hot glue just behind (bad side) the gathered section so that it glues the gathered area so if the thread breaks it will still be secure and I also press it into the dowel to secure....this happens just below the nail...

Now I do same with front part...gather, secure to nail, add glue for extra strength...when complete I take my gun and add glue where all the thread is on the nail, again just incase it was to break...when cool you can proceed with next step...

You will see how nicely at this point that the folded edges of the gown blend in the the sleeves...no cut edges right...


LOOKING good...
