Consider: fastenings (get samples), collars, yokes, sleeves, straps, necklines etc.Consider the interior of the garment, does it need a lining? Consider fabric choices.
INDEPENDENT:
Address the question of finishing the garment:

Create samples to illustrate.
Indicate through flat/working drawings.
Try different permutations of strongest ideas to create final collection.
Explore different colorways/different proportions of colourstory before finalising selection.
