A suggestion of using a decorative stitch or some trim was a good one and I considered it. I decided however that this will call even more attention to this area and I really want the focus on the dress I plan to wear with it.
Interestingly I saw a pattern at KS that is actually more of what I thought this jacket would look like, even though the collar style is different. I really like the KS pattern.
So without further ado, here is a photo of the jacket.

Do you think it's too objectionable to wear? If so, that's unfortuante. Sewing is a continuing learning experience, for sure.
ReplyDeleteFor what it's worth, it looks fine to me. The hem adds a nice depth to the collar and defines it just a bit. If I hadn't known it was the hem I would have assumed it was nice topstitching or something of the like. It looks finished and quite nice to me!
ReplyDeleteBonjour Linda,
ReplyDeleteJudging from this picture I like th collar very much,
but you are the one that kows better as it hard to judge by photos
I'll check the other pictures to see if there's something wrong for me
Don't get discouraged, I know I hate spending time on a project and not liking the result
Very nice job!
ReplyDeleteI love your jacket! I was just able to find this pattern this past weekend and I can't wait to make it.
