Collar and Facings
Sew center backs of the Collars ( pattern piece 7) together, right sides facing; the undercollar is the
fused pair. Align the undercollar to the dress, right sides facing, with the straighter, long edge of
the collar meeting the dress neckline. Sew.
With right sides facing, sew the short ends of the Back Facing (pattern piece 10) to the Front Facings
(pattern piece 9). Now you will have one long facing piece. Now, as you did with the undercollar already, align the topcollar to the facings and sew.
Now, we sew the undercollar/dress piece to the topcollar/facing piece. From hem to hem, sew, right sides facing. Trim the seam allowance. Turn collar right side out.
Take the seam allowances of the topcollar and undercollar, and sew them together, from end to end. You want to stitch just to the outside of the row of stitching that’s already there.
