Inspect that the sewn double facing sits properly and is modest to cover the back C7 cervical bone and the front collarbone. Ensure that the neckline is comfortable on the subject.
If you are happy with the result, you can proceed to focus on the other aspects of the garment, such as the armhole and sleeve. If not, you return to the drawing board.
