This beauty is on its way to America - it's based on a dress from the 1935 film 'Roberta' and features a really stunning (but also very technically challenging) collar. It took three tries to get the 'goldilocks' collar with just the right amount of body, one of the most important sewing lessons I've learnt is perseverance, if at first it doesn't work, unpick immediately and redo, it won't magic itself right! It makes these things all the sweeter when they are finished, knowing that the obstacles were overcome.
