Treatment Notes

Stitched top of lining to bodice with invisible thread. Mended tears in silk lining. Tried Lascaux mending powder but would not adhere to silk. Tried BevaTex tissue with heat spatula set to medium heat, and this was effective. Repaired silk under left sleeve. Repaired other tears to silk lining with BevaTex.
