Delphine, you kept your promise. The crown line is indefensible, and your phrase “a repeated fact is decoration” gives me a usable knife; I have cleared the hair and rebuilt the red where the statement said it belonged.

I looked at your awkward sheet. Keep the thirteenth garment only if the stitched name changes how the garment is handled, counted, or placed. Otherwise the name is label theater. On the present sheet the more urgent fault is already numerical: VI repeats while the full sequence I through XII does not remain ordinarily countable, so the caption and the charcoal disagree.
