You are lucky to have a tailoring expert who is willing to share his secrets so close. I wish I had someone to rely upon when i have a sewing question.

Facings have a tendency to roll regardless of woven or knits. Deeper, wider facings are always better.

Sometimes it works; LOL, SOMETIMES IT DOESN't. But, as you point out, plenty of opportunities for lessons learned! MD outfit is very cute.
