The blouse’s armhole: meeting-point of sleeve and body, also needed to capture part of the collar and hold the earlierly hemmed lining, for which was opted to unite all those layers in a single seam and encapsulate their allowances with a hand-sewn bias border as a neat and simple way of finishing this conclusive joining.

Finished Armhole
Frontal Zipper
A rump-long hidden zipper, skillfully installed into the blouse’s front as a hand-sewn bearing between fabric and lining; a single invisible fastener to tailor the waist and continuate the pleat-sequence within the collar.
Stitched Hemlines
In order to accommodate with the eventual visibility of their inner sides, the black blouse’s sleeves and body each have their hemlines stitched off with lining before they are conjoined in the armhole, applying finishing before construction to allow the use of understitchings for flattening the seams with a faultlessly slick effect.
Time of the Year
Picking up the dark silver of the velvet brocades to outline its edges with velcro tape and replace the frame’s creme colored layer as this year’s inlay for The Picnic Blanket, an exploit not unnoticed by fellow inhabitants.
Conclusive Cover
Trimming corners and cutting darts before stretching and cross-stitching all seams cleanly opened, leaving no excess material in the way of drawing the now finished cover over its dome construction; after which the newly attached border is to be wrapped over the padded crown, joining the fur directly onto its satin lining.
