Great pattern
Great pattern though not for beginners as collar stand is narrow and need’s careful attention.

Pateen is so easy
Love this pattern what I have been looking for. My stash of patterns going back to the 70’s did not have this simple sew skirt, I could teach my daughter to understand the instructions. Thank you
