I just made a French hood and to my eyes, the dark spot (#3) is where the
back veil, (in this case a shaped bag), in attaching to the hood, hangs
free. I have seen people sew the veil all around and have also seen the back
left loose, as appears to be the case here. I see what appear to be gathers

Hi,
I looked in my book, and i could not find the buttonholes either. However i
think they might have made the buttonholes vertical in this waistcoat, if
you look at the pattern, it is made of a silver cord in the edge and a
little further in, there is a silver lace running along the line.
The slashes -looks like the painter was trying to show shadow lines, which

Hi,
