"I made this. It was pretty easy, and it looks pretty flattering. However, there are three changes I made:
- the pattern does not provide clear enough instructions on how to sew the facing on in addition to the collar. It provides instructions separately for the facing and the collar, but not with the collar already attached. In any case, a 2 layers of interfacing on a collar + interfaced facing + 4 layers of fabric is way too much for a neck, so I just ignored the facing and made the collar.
- I cut the pattern down to knee length, it would be nice if it had markings for knee length just included in the pattern
- the cuff bands were way too small! I had to remove them and re-add make them a couple of inches wider. I don't think I have super thick arms."
