I wore my Rigel yesterday and my neck was freezing even with a scarf.<br /><br />Wish that I had gone your route (high neck, $1 pattern on-sale). Sometimes I'm too much on the indie bandwagon. I think that I persuaded myself to shell out on it because of the geometric sleeve detail version. It does look cool, so I'm glad that I made it. Definitely need to raise the neckline next make.

It will have satiny lined sleeves, as I am tired of dragging sleeve over sleeve here in the damp NW (30-40F, damp again). <br />I am impressed you got this done.
