[Namron] I made a TUNIC but

[Lee McGoodwin]

I swear, you try to warn them and they just don't
listen.  :-D

Didn't I say to make the neck opening smaller than you
think you need?  Oh, well, This does sound like a good
solution.  Isn't linen great!  I don't care if it does
wrinkle.

The trim idea mentioned by Lady Grainne' is good. 
And, adding the same color to the hem is good too.

I love seeing people try new things...mistakes and
all!!

You have my biz card, you can call me if you need
help.
