Hilarious review. LOL. I wish we could see the whole dress. Color looks really pretty.

Thanks for the review. It is a big collar... I hope you are successful in coming up with a solution.

Too bad about the collar. Too bad you couldn't properly scare your husband, too. :-) Thanks for the review.

Thanks for the warning, and a very helpful review! I thought the collar stand was strange, too, but never expected it to be so wide! But take a look at tops 411 and 412, which use the same pattern pieces but have different neck finishes, either of which can be used for the dress. After hearing that the wrap isn't too low cut, I may be making one of those.

That is a big collar! It needs MORE RHINESTONES! Just kidding. You made it look good. I like the artwork behind you, also.

Can't wait to see it with the new collar finish. Enjoyed your review.

I can't imagine a collar stand on a knit. Glad you made it work. Being a short plus too, it is sometimes so hard to get the right proportion. Good idea to ditch the collar!

ROFL about the "Halloween Warning"! Too funny. That collar was bad - but you did a beautiful job of saving the dress! It is AWESOME now! :)

Love your dress (and your review). :o) Now, could you please send the tree men to my house? I could use a day off too.
