Bella Loves Patterns Rosie shirt
First of all, the frustration of the previous reviewer who awarded this pattern one star and discarded the project is palpable but, I feel, unfair to Bella. The reviewer is right that the photographed construction is hard to follow. A sample garment could perhaps be made in contrasting colours. There is a sew-along for this pattern on Bella’s own website. (It might have appeared after the reviewer gave up working on the Rosie.)
Bella put up the video explicitly to address the collar construction. She explains that the method is used in coat making and that she employed it to avoid puckers easily produced in some conventional methods. I strongly suggest a toile, viewing Bella’s demonstration which is done without a hitch, and viewing some more coat collar videos. I did all of that and I have made a coat and so I recognised the method although I then made the same mistake in joining the collar seams as I did with the coat!
Cutting, marking and matching needs to be super accurate so, another time, I would cut the pattern in single layers. My final fabric was a very light linen which frayed, and moved, easily.
If I hadn’t seen Bella do if perfectly, I would have said I wasn’t sure that the coat method translates easily to smaller, thinner pattern pieces. By the time I had unpicked the short and narrow corner seams of my linen, there was little left to work with. I did a lot more tacking (basting) than that recommended - which was none. I am not sure that the garment will survive being washed many times before the collar corners fray.
Much of the troublesome area is out of sight so, at the moment, my Rosie shirt does look pretty good. I love the style and have some thoughts of making another and hacking it into a shirt dress.

I absolutely adored this pattern. Bella always makes extremely well thought out beautifully shaped garments. The shaping on the collar is really elegant and the little details of the double pleat on the back shoulders is very satisfying. There are french seams within keeping things neat and tidy on the inside. The collar was definitely tricky to sew (the photos are not super clear) but if you go slow and make sure you have sufficient interfacing it's 100% do-able! I sewed this in a M&M's Hemp Cotton which made it much stiffer and more casual. I'm planning a second in a drapey fabric as per recommendations. Oh and as a person of short stature I hugely appreciate the height bandings :)

I consider myself to be an intermediate sewist, but I had never tried to put a collar in like this. I could have done it if I had been able to interpret the instructions. They photographed the steps instead of using drawings. The fabric they were using was a light cream color, and when I got to inserting the collar, I couldn't make out on the photograph what they had done. I inserted and removed the collar 4 times, and the project ended up in the trash. I looked for a tutorial to no avail. I am writing this so that others will be aware that they need to know how this collar is inserted.
