Halfway done with the quills (or welts). You can see that there is a "single" one in between every "double" quill. When finished, they will all be "doubles". On the original gown, only a section of double quills remains, but it is obvious that they were all double when the gown was worn (needle holes can still be seen). On the left in the center of the page, you can see how the seam is "faked" by placing a quill next to it. A double quill can be seen in the center of the picture on the right.
