I also found the neck was a bit too large, I'm not into flashing my bra straps, so I redrafted it to come in a bit more. That seemed to work well. I liked your idea of doing a tee-shirt style neckline, it worked well.<br /><br />Debbie<br />http://www.sewnfromtheheart.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454299534973486652.post-21309302396267788232016-04-17T02:46:48.029-04:002016-04-17T02:46:48.029-04:00Lovely dress and amazing fabric.
