The thing I wanted to do most of all was to make the trim around the front and bottom in a contrasting material. Well, me making this my first try, decided to use a sheer fabric that had to be over locked. Well, the overlocking showed through, so I had to take extra care with it.

Next, I didint pay attention to the folding over of the trim ,and made the bottom too large.

NEXT, the collar was to be folded over as well, but there is just not enough give in that fabric (a mistake I believe is part of the pattern) so I had to notch the fabric around the collar, create a facing, and THEN tack it all down. *whew*

Although the pattern is my bust size, I dont think its proportioned for me, so on the next one, Ill have to make it longer in the front to accommodate all my busty goodness.
