The Rider Vest, last stages of assemblagesecured and stitched-off vest armoholesecured vest hemline and front openingThe most important stitchings determining a garment’s worth are those the eye cannot see, in this particular case the series of cross- and side-stitches fixing the folds within the seam allowance and guiding the later inwards leaving a solid border defining the garment’s edges while allowing ample space for a back-stitch to sew-on the lining.

Bastework

Bast-sewing darts in the longsleeve undershirt
The choice for high-stretch velvet-jersey material allowed the undershirt’s intricate design to be incorporated into the blouse as sets of curving darts within one spacious piece of fabric.

These darts’ markings were basted together allowing to confirm the fit before being sewn fixed, cut open and trimmed short, saving most of the work, yet providing the same result as if all fourteen pieces were cut and sewn on separately.
