Hi everyone! Starting on the outer robes, I have a question. We have seen posts from e.g. 2008 stating that there should not be a seam running from the shoulder to the neck, that the front and back shouls be on continuous piece.

However, this has some negative effects: the chest area of the robe is not sitting as flat and nicely as it would if there was a seam, and the pile of the velvet appears "upside down" on the back vs the front if it is one piece (its basically not noticeable though).

I have noticed that many people have the seams anyway. So what is the recommendation? What did each of you decide?

Thanks all!

There are the two seams on the shoulder. They run down the center basically on how )----O----( this is drawn.

perfect, thank you!

We (TR-31617 and I) have a heavy duty hook and a hidden zipper on that seam.
