And whilst I did not like doing the collar, looking at the photos I think it adds some visual "bulk" to my top half to balance my pear-shape. I may end up doing it again on that ruffle bum version ;)SewJillianhttp://www.sewunravelled.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660113630786695742.post-75683811762574268062014-10-11T22:07:13.183+11:002014-10-11T22:07:13.183+11:00Oh it looks wonderful!
