Fairy tale collar View A

Hi

I'm wondering if anyone else has tried the collar yet as I'm having some trouble.


I made the collar last night for a size 2 using the digital pattern and each collar piece is 1/2 an inch too short. Is it possible the collar should be sewn with a 1/4 inch seam allowance rather than the 1/2 inch I 've used?


Aligning the notch in the collar piece to the shoulder seam has me 1/4 inch short from the centre front and back. I couldn't see anything in the directions that said to use 1/4 inch but I may have inadvertently skipped over it. I've checked both the scale square and my tracing of the collar piece and all seem to be accurate.


Otherwise absolutely loving this pattern - so many wonderful options which can completely change the tone of the dress as you add them.


Thanks
