I’m trying to figure out how to fully line a dress with a shirring panel without too much handsewing. The OnS patterns I’ve seen with a shirring panel only have partial facing and a lined skirt at most, never a fully lined bodice. I know how to add full lining to a regular dress with a zipper without any handsewing. But with a shirring panel where the elastic is encased between the outer fabric and the lining, I always end up with an awkward edge or corner somewhere, usually where it attaches to the skirt lining. I don’t want my stitching to be visible on the outside or raw edges to be visible when the dress is turned inside out.

All my shirred JSKs from IW and Meta have full lining that looks machine sewn with all raw edges elegantly tucked away between the main fabric and lining, so it has to be possible. I just can’t figure out how to do it. Is there a tutorial for this somewhere? I think it might have to be lolita-specific because all the normie tutorials I’ve found use different types of shirring.

Pic isn't mine but it's the kind of shirring panel I'm talking about.
