Love the shirt! Added it to my favs because I want to do one for my dad in November. How do you do the collar?

Used a shirt collar as a pattern and cut it out of parchment first. I made the points a little longer because my pattern shirt was a regular shirt and western collars are longer. Cut MMF and folded over on a narrow piece of cardboard to dry. You could probably for go the cardboard if you are making and applying to the cake same day. HTH.

It looks beautiful. I love the details in the "fabric". The collar looks so cool too!

Excellent job! That would be a great idea for a western theme here in Calgary, for Calgary stampede!
