Collars and new item for 5trillion

I have just been reading about collars and ease at fashion-incubator. I do not recall ever refering to ease in the under collar, we were taught to make the upper collar bigger so it could roll. I pulled out my old notes from college to check exactly what it had to say. So, if the under collar is smaller it does require ease in order to sew it together, but as it is so minimal I never thought of it that way.

Pink lace top on 5trillion.
I am in love with lace at the moment. I hear lots of people saying, ooh the 80's are back, weren't they so daggy! But I love 80's fashion, actually there are probably aspects of every era that I love. I think I love it though because this is the era I grew up in. I remember wearing lace tights, white skirt, pink top and a piece of lace in my hair to a party when I was younger and I just loved that outfit. I have many memories that include what I wore at the time or clothes in general, including Christmas shopping with mum, my pressies always included a few new outfits.
