..stitched to the fabric collar..

The supportive lining..

..and folded in unison.

..joined at the base..

The lining construction that supports its shiny counterpart took considerably less effort to make, merging the prosperities of both established methods -maintaining a supple sturdiness without having double seamlines pressing through the soft silk top- in a uniquely prefabricated piece to which the whole blouse can be sown.

On controlling this delicate fabric for faults I noticed a series of hard folds, pressed deep into the fabric structure from the less than careful way it had been spinned onto its roll, causing false pleats which are better avoided, diminutive as they may seem, as the error inflicted when copying patterns on top of them would be especially bothersome because the impact would differ between the left and right halves of the coupe; a due to strict material usage non-omittable premise, luckily well-correctable through exhaustive steam-pressing upto almost no visibility, re-setting a tranquil outlook to this earliest of producing stages.

Where the dome construction consists out of horizontal layers, its fabric counterpart establishes the Decahat shape by merging vertical straps of fur, each individually cut and joined to the top piece, providing continuity in pile direction, with little stitches tightening marked edge-lines as to facilitate a genuine polyhedral effect.
