  Fabulous! Thanks for the extra pics and explanation. Oh and using newspaper to play with shapes, why didn’t I think of that? Thanks!

  WOW!!!!! I love gingham, this is a great modern interpretation with the collar, I’ve never seen anything like it!! It’s great!

  I love this collar thing going on! Do you have any pictures of the shape of the collar before being sewn on? Or a sketch of the shape of it?

    Seconded! I’d love to see how you did this one; it’s really pretty.

    I’ve uploaded a picture of the crude pattern I used… What I did was trace out the shape of the neckline and then used the proportions of the bodice as a guide to the length of the pointy bits (first picture). Then I tacked on extra newspaper, folded it into a shape i liked and cut off the excess (second picture). Hope that made sense :)
