The back neck is too big, which explains your collar. So disappointing. Guess I'll have to tweak the neck to fit and then cut a facing to fit it.

I sandwiched the collar between the neckband and neckband facing on the upper edge of the neckband (closest to my hairline, if that makes any sense!) westmoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05305132395354227560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157694539788402550.post-18235170841574968162015-03-30T12:57:19.448+01:002015-03-30T12:57:19.448+01:00I looked at that Vogue pattern too, but the price ...I looked at that Vogue pattern too, but the price of Vogue patterns over here, and the fact I really didn't want the trouser part of the pattern meant I decided to substitute the Butterick pattern. Since then, there's been another similar McCall's pattern, M7094, but by that time I'd already bought the Butterick.
