Q : Hi mam how to attach lining with this - shivani (1 year ago)
A :

Usually a separate slip is worn with a kaftan. 

Q : I have Usha Janome Wonder Stitch. I sew a dress with shirred waist and sleeves. But in my machine shirring can be done only when I set the thread tension at 9. As a result the sleeves are a little tight. If I keep the thread tension at any other setting the upper thread becomes loose and comes out. Please let me know what might be wrong. - Sneha (2 years ago)
A :

Not faced this problem. I would need to check.  Try on different scrap fabric also. 

Q : What is the size means what is the width of elastic thread??? - ASHMITA SHARMA (2 years ago)
A :

Not sure of the size, it should be 1mm - 2mm

Q : Is the dori or latkan attached with dress.. Or it's optional?? - ASHMITA SHARMA (2 years ago)
A :

Its optional.

Q : Mam, have you sewn the elastic in the back part also? - Shadow (4 years ago)
A :

Yes, both back and front.
