(See next step 9, how to sew a center back zipper?)

(See previous step 7, how to press the seam lines and the darts?)

First change the sharp angles of the back vent extensions to curves, use scissors. The rounded corners are easier to finish with zigzag stitch or overlock stitch. Then finish the edges of the side and back seam allowances and back vent extensions with zigzag stitch or overlock stitch, use sewing machine or serger/overlock machine. Then press seam allowances and back vent extensions again, use a moisture press cloth. Please Note: Click on photo to see a larges size.
