Once the epaulettes were sewn into the seam of the sleeve, I just sewed them down next to the lapels using these lovely buttons...



Here's the finished effect...



Which, apparently were the wrong size buttons, per Panache, so I had to remove them in order to sew on the smaller buttons...



The large buttons are for the single button closure of the jacket...



And also for the patches on the cuffs...



Speaking of cuffs...more to come...

Be well,
