What necklace length do you prefer?
I’d love to see one pendant worn at two of these lengths with the same neckline. That would make the difference easier to judge than looking at the chain on its own. When planning a blouse from our Sewlore collection, I’d try the actual necklace on the fitting sample and mark the finished neckline, not the cutting edge. I’d also move around a little to see whether the pendant stays visible or keeps slipping inside the blouse.
