Cutting the fabric.

The pieces are pretty straightforward. The collar is one piece and folded over on the long side, making it the easiest collar I have sewn so far. There are no outer fabric facings, so make sure you iron the seam allowances well.

Instructions:

Pretty conclusive and complete.

Fit:

Whahaha, it still does. Ment to wear this fall.

Conclusion:

Love it so much.
