I’m totally obsessing over this collar! It turned out just as planned on the first time, which doesn’t happen too often! I think this kind of collar is great for costumes, but if it’s not overdone can be nice for an everyday piece. The collar really inspired this whole dress. I’ll show you how to make the whole dress. I am providing the pattern pieces I drafted for myself, so if you’re about the same size, like a Medium, you can use these pieces! If not, just adjust them bigger or smaller to your liking.
2 yards lace
2 yards knit
1 invisible zipper
This pattern is the size I made for me, which is about a medium. You can adjust the pattern if you need it smaller or larger.
Ruffle Collar:
stand up collar pattern piece
44″ by 6″ for ruffle
Skirt Measurements:
your desired length (ex. 32″) by 56″ wide
if you want to add pockets, check out this tutorial.
First, cut out all your pattern pieces in both the knit and the lace. Overlay the lace pieces on top of the knit pieces and baste together along the edges.
Do the same for the ruffle piece, folding it in half.
The sandwich your ruffle in between the collar stand pieces. The ruffle should be the same length as the collar stand, so adjust accordingly.
Fold the sleeve over so the knit sides are together.
