Laurie Lou said... Love to see this outfit on you! Could you explain how the collar was tricky. Sometimes I have issues with those too. Nice review...I also have this pattern! 3/23/11 5:16 PM

It is left as a single thickness on the front to form the drape. When I first started I was sure that it was sewn doubled over all the way down the front. Luckily, I read the instructions as I was pinning it to the front and realized my error. Saved me a lot of ripping out. 3/23/11 5:22 PM
