I’m making my first ever dress and followed the instructions shown here, including sewing the side seams… but then when it comes to adding the lining, it’s showing the side seams open! I sewed in the lining at the neckline anyway, just sort of tucking the lining into the partially finished garment, before realizing that i have no way of finishing the armholes because they’re already in a circle.

Do I need to undo the side seams and begin again? (Or just make a new bodice entirely with the leftover fabric, because my neckline is looking…not great.) I’m also wondering if this will prevent me from turning the lining inside out later. Pics of pattern instructions and current garment included.
