I really love the feminine Peter Pan collar and the back fullness gives a nice swing when dancing. I also decided against the attached belt. The directions call for a drawstring belt, but I added my own. The back is gathered and secured with a facing on the inside so the fullness doesn't move. Next time I make this I would go with an elastic insert under the facing - that way I can forgo the side zip/closure altogether.'
