Turn the bodice inside out. Iron and press flat the top seam. Hand tack the lining along the seams to the foundation to sabalise the lining and keep it from stretching or "floating".
The bottom edge is open and you may wish to attach your skrits to the wool/foundation layer for an early year or fold under the edges and hand finish for a later year (seperate bodices).
Hand finish armholes.

Tuck the turnback (excess wool and linen) into the lining. This should leave you with about one inch of exposed wool on each side where you will be placing your eyelet holes.
DO NOT USE A HOLE PUNCH AND EYLET KIT TO MAKE YOUR EYELETS!!!!!
