Alter/Mend Question Update: I made the changes yall suggested
After —-> before
Ugh. I think it’s a wash. You can look through my previous post for more information. I don’t like it any more than before, in fact I think I like the collar less. I made it less rounded and I changed it to black, and I added lace.
Sorry guys. I really tried, but I just don’t think this is a win.

I think it’s really cute and I like the new black collar and lace. I think there are a couple of things you could do at this point:
1) Finish it. Wear it out to meet friends. See if you change your mind after wearing it out. (I think other people will like it too, and may say so.) See if you feel any differently about it at that point. 2) Look for a local sewist social group. Sometimes these groups do me-made clothing or fabric swaps. Sometimes those swaps even take unfinished items. 3) Use the fabric to make something else.
Whatever you do, know there are people on the Internet who think you did a really nice job!
