Denouement dress — reference sheet v5
Skirt letters team-confirmed. Every chip shows the raw crop of its assigned belt bead. Skirt is in stage direction (true wearer L/R); chest grid is in audience view. Dashed outline = low-confidence chest cell.
v5: skirt grid confirmed — the 24 pins are 24 distinct letters; only T/#02 and U/#03 absent. B-R6 = X/#06 confirmed (the "gem is gold" relay is retired). Views: skirt uses true wearer L/R (front columns therefore swap vs older sheets:
true F-L = old audience F-R and vice versa; back labels unchanged). Chest stays in audience view, S1→S4 as photographed.Letter key (A–Z = belt order from the zipper)
Working assumption: first bead on the type-09 side of the zipper break is A, ascending to Z at the type-08 side. The arrow stick-pin on the back bodice sits beside the zipper break (candidate start marker).
