+.. note:: on basting
+
+ Usually, I'm not a basting person: I tend to pin and sew directly,
+ and for simple straight seams I even skip the pins.
+
+ In this case, however, all of the vertical seams are curved and need
+ to be sewn precisely, so I'd strongly recommend basting them before
+ sewing, starting from the waistline, which is where most precision is
+ needed and going upwards and then downwards.
+
+Starting from the center back and moving out, pin, baste and sew all
+parts of the back.
