A lot of it depends on the style of dress. I made one for the Suitable Gown for Her Majesty presentation that worked great. It just slide into the front of the rolls created by the outer gown "lapels." I will look for a picture and post it. My websites are just fubar right now and probably will be for awhile. Can you show us a picture of the dress you are making? Sg P.S. I am assuming also that you realize there are two collars/ruffs there right?
