Tulip top with clergy collar hack

I’m a Church of England priest and in the Clergy Sewing facebook group quite a few of the women have made the Tulip top with one sister’s excellent collar hack (thank you). Size 20 pattern gave a nearly 20 inch neck (weird), so added some gathers round the back, made more gathers at the front and overlapped the tabs at the back to make it fit more closely.

Tana lawn from a very old stash (was orginally a dress for a Pride and Prejudice party in the ’80s! The collar was from the black satin bodice, the fabric here reversed with quite a nice twill effect). French seams and I cut a piece that mirrored the hem (as wide as the sleeve cuff) to make the hem; maintaining the tulip shape with simple hemming was too daunting. Thinking I might try a long sleeve version, simply growing them on using the cuff dimension.
