I made my own pattern for the collar, based on what Rachel McAdam's dress had in the movie. Her collar has a rounded edge, with a very elegant trim along the top. As mentioned in the prototype post, I already tried out the collar shape, but this time I'm adding the trim and bringing a zipper all the way up the center back.
The Trim / Embellishment

This method is very precise, but takes too much time.
If I were entering a competition, I'd have done this the whole way. |
 |
The previous method got fired.
I started pinching the fabric before it got to the presser foot.
Slightly less precise, but MUCH more fun! |
 |
Then the trim gets basted to the reinforced collar panel,
which means we begin to see it really come together! |
The collar is now ready to be attached to the bodice with a zipper through it. Looking forward to finishing the bodice. The sleeves will be the last part of getting the bodice together.
