The second collar I posted is the one I finally drafted. At the end of the day it doesn't matter if it resembles the photo closely, it's how it looks on me that counts, and that collar suited me best.

So, in the end it was worth the journey!

Absolutely! I love these shirts and am enthused by the thought of creating a few (perhaps with different collars?). I have a friend staying at the moment, so won't be getting stuck in for another week or so. Can't wait though!  :)

The outer edge can be cut while wearing it. Tuck in a quarter inch or less and sew it. Design while wearing.

I've already draped the collar, so it's designed.  :)

Obviously there might be minor tweaks, but I'll be doing a full garment-sample with some poplin leftovers. I can sort out any imperfections then.
