You will find the detailed and very useful sewalong for Solstice dress at this link here. It is a very thorough visual guide and we found it incredibly useful when sewing some of the trickiest parts of this pattern, mainly the front twist, turning out the shoulders and burrito method. The video is recorded in French by the team at Lise Tailor themselves but you can turn on the English subtitles. Our tip is to read the instructions and then watch the video of each part. Also do not forget to transfer all the notches and other markings to your fabric as shown in the video tutorial.
Our brand supporter Megan recorded a short video of her experience of sewing Solstice dress for you specifically, along with some very useful sewing tips which you can watch by clicking here.
We also have a tutorial for inserting invisible zip which you can watch here.
