I could measure how wide across they are if you wanted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-elizabeth-halter#post-22318 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 01:59:54 +0000 shell 22318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ana, you're too sweet! thanks for all the info! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-elizabeth-halter#post-22312 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 01:46:15 +0000 Ana 22312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Shell,</p> <p>It's 3" and the center band is about 1 7/8". </p> <p>Here are some more detailed photos of the fringe to help you recreate it:</p> <p><a href="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h275/Saintana13/S6300896-2.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i66.photobucket.com/alb.....0896-2.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h275/Saintana13/S6300898.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i66.photobucket.com/alb.....300898.jpg</a></p> <p>Each side of the ruffle looks like one long "ribbon" of fabric that is pleated into a sort of zig zag shape. Then the center banding holds the two pieces. As you can see, the pleats don't line up, so it's not one large piece:</p> <p><a href="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h275/Saintana13/S6300899-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i66.photobucket.com/alb.....0899-1.jpg</a></p> <p>Hope that helps. Let me know if you need anything else. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-elizabeth-halter#post-22307 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 01:30:53 +0000 shell 22307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, I think a couple of you might have this top ( <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/WomenBrowse/Women_Shop_By_Category/shirtstops/camisblouses/PRDOVR~95001/95001.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Brows...../95001.jsp</a> )...and I was hoping you would do me a super huge favor :D</p> <p>Could you measure the width of the pleat/ruffle thing along the neck?</p> <p>Here's a picture showing the dimension I need...<br /> <a href="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r154/seashell27/jcrewcollar.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i143.photobucket.com/al.....collar.jpg</a></p> <p>I'm thinking about adding a detail similar to that to a dress I'm making, and since I love how the collar looks in the picture of the model wearing it, I thought I could recreate it. Thanks in advance </p>
