>>10099413 here (the other commentor isn't me). Sorry for the slow reply, I didn't see your post.

Yes, you got it right. >>10102431 got it right as well. The last two vertical lines will be visible from the outside of the dress.

Here's the last dress I made that did it this way. Hopefully it's a little more obvious? All the shirring channels are horizontal, then one vertical line to hold down the elastic and the second line seals everything inside.

As for the fiddlyness, I think I used basting stitches or pins to hold the elastic in place while I put in the first vertical line. Most of the fabric is pushed to the centre and usually stays there until you pull on the elastic again.
