Thank you. Haha, I hate making collars in any size, but you are right, they are extra annoying in this small scale.

It looks great, the fabric you chose is perfect. I agree about the collar – a little bit smaller would be perfect. But still – it looks great. I hate making collars. They are so problematic in this size.

Thanks. Just a bit smaller will probably be just as fiddly as this one was. I would like tailored clothes if it wasn't for the buttons and the collars. I don't really like the press-button solution, but I just can't manage decent buttonholes by hand. The small blue check is part of an old men's shirt in human size. I had planned the shirt for Gideon, but the collar and his long hair didn't work together.

I made a shirt from a Designs by Jude pattern that had the same sort of collar, which also ended up slightly oversized. The problem with making a smaller collar is it becomes very fiddly to work with. I guess that's why I dislike sewing tailored clothes for male dolls. It looks nice on Walden, who certainly looks like he appreciates it. That small blue check was a lucky find, too. It's perfectly in scale.
