Step 1
Pin your unfused front & back bodice A pieces together at shoulder seams. Stitch together. Press seam allowances open. Repeat for your fused bodice A pieces.
Step 2

Repeat on the other side.
Step 5
With right sides facing, pin together front and back bodice pieces at side seams, lining up armhole seam of fused and unfused sections. Stitch together. Press seams open. Fold down, so that all seams are on the inside.
