Stitching the Neckline

To stitch the neckline, I drew a template on some scrap paper. I had traced the pattern, and then just experimented freehand with different neckline shapes. My daughter insisted that this dress have a lower neckline then her last two. I kind of like a higher neckline so it can really hide whatever they are wearing underneath. She always felt a bit strangled! So this one is lower, although it still covers her collarbones and all. I was going to do a triple row of stitching, one of each pink color as I have done with the sleeve, but once I did the first row I changed my mind. On the neckline for the two back pieces I actually did two smaller rows of two colors. Next to each other it looks fine.
