I hate facings at the neck or arms - I think they just flip out and cheapen the look of all your work tremendously. Facings on jackets are, of course, absolutely necessary..but at the neck and arms, I always line it or use bias bindings.

I really like the trim too. Maybe you could make one in blue too, to go with the gold, or chinese red? I love dupioni - so easy to sew, but it looks so fancy. This is so pretty!

Lindsay, after this experience, I'm thinking of finding some more dupioni, but in a color that matches more closely the skirt and do it again.
