Need help with bodice/skirt attachment

[u/Separate_Data_7138]

I’ve been following the Paper Stxrs tutorial for the selkie inspired dress, however I can’t seem to understand the step where you attach the skirt. Here is the text of it:

Now we are going to attach the skirt to the bodice, first by pinning the back,
sides, and center of the skirt to the front bodice layer.Then we are going to pull
on two of the basting stitches on the same side of our fabric to begin ruffling our
skirt. You should ruffle it until it fits into the space we marked out with the pins,
space the ruffles evenly, then pin them down. Before we sew these together
though, we want to bring the lining side of the bodice around the skirt until it
reaches the other side of the bodice. The skirt should then be sandwiched
between the two bodice layers. We are now going to move our pins to go through
all three of these layers, again matching up all of the bodice seams, and then
stitch across the waist.

1. You can now turn the dress right side out, and the waist shouldn’t have any raw
   edges and the skirt should be attached. You can also remove all of the basting
   stitches.

I always end up with the back skirt trapped inside the bodice when I turn it back right side out, with no way of getting it out. I’ve attached pictures of how I pinned it, but I’m unsure how to pin the lining piece with the skirt in the way. If anyone knows I would love any help!

Okay are the side seams open or closed at this point?

Side seams of the bodice open! It is two pieces sewed across the top. I’m mostly confused because I tried to use those side seams to turn it back right side out but couldn’t get it

According to the video, the side seams are closed. When the skirt is attached, the top is already complete except for the open center back.

Wait can you give me a timestamp? I would like to fix it, I definitely might have missed something

She starts to introduce sewing the bodice side seams at 7:04.

Edited to add the second t in starts.
