The cowl was double in length as it faced itself to just below the bustline. I do not remember the facing being narrower than the front, but you could easily have less drape on the facing part to control the gathers in the front.Nancy Winninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01291320098379550586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215123741467950471.post-64883124694225406902008-05-13T18:12:00.000+02:002008-05-13T18:12:00.000+02:00I believe you have a bit too much gathering a bit ...I believe you have a bit too much gathering a bit too low on the armhole. Also, since there is a wide neck to begin with the neckline gets wide very quickly so there is no need to spread so much. On page 88 of A Custom Touch by Mary J.

There is no hem and no seams because of the way it is sewn together. It gives a very nice finish. I could email you some detailed pictures if you would like to see the insides/finishing.

The cowl might be another piece of fabric applied on top. <BR/><BR/>With a knit and with such snug armholes, you could perhaps use a really light weight knit for a lining. That would finish the neck edge, stabilize the drape in front and back without adding too much weigh or fabric.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
