The dressing given is correct , although it should be made clear that primrose coloured thread should be used ( Tyzack uses yellow power silk) and that the body needs to be dubbed very lightly so that thread shows through, like a "Water Bloa".

Also don't go over the top on the cdc , two feathers on size 17 & 19, just the one a size 21.
