chemise gown question

[robinsnest]

Does the casing for the neckline go all the way around through the shoulder straps? if not do you finish the casing and the shoulder seem first? just one? 

In other news I actually started sewing something MORE than a week before, I know be impressed. I got the fabric strips cut and sewn on for the waist casing and now I'm pondering what comes next.

I haven't gotten there yet. (Lazy, much? Why yes!) I plan to gather the back, though, and just have the casing in the front of the dress at the neckline, mainly because Katherine C-G did hers that way, and I trust her judgement! xD

I made a casing in the front only and I finished it first. Then I sewed on the shoulder straps.
