I selected quite plain edging as a classic suit hardly needs shells and pompom trim. My favourite was the blanket edge. It gives a clean edge whilst adding a little decorative element. The only thing I'm concerned about is that the picot edging might be on the wrong side of the dc piece. I'm not sure if that will matter or not. There's only one way to find out.
I used Drops Karisma DK for the edgings. It's 100% wool and worked up very nicely. It's firm but not splitty. A 4.5mm hook worked well but it could have taken a 5mm or 5.5mm quite easily.
For this shaped piece I used Stylecraft Special DK . It's 100% acrylic and is very soft. A 4.5mm hook gave some drape.
