Has anyone made this? Currently making view A and only have the neck band to put on but i am being really thick because if i follow the instructions (fatal for me, i don't do instructions), the neck band is all floppy and wavy. On the pattern envelope it sits nice and flat and i have checked out pattern review and there are a few wavy necks there.
Any tips or do i just do my own thing.

It sounds as though the neck band is a little too long for the neck opening.  I would shorten the band just a little so that it has to be slightly stretched.

Knit fabrics have a varying amount of stretch. Maybe your fabric has a greater stretch ability than what the pattern was tested on (if they do test them!)

I recently did V1522 (which I wasn't impressed with in general) and had the same problem. My fabric didn't have much stretch and the pattern piece was far too long. I took off 3cm and it still could have done with being shorter.

I have looked at the Marcy Tilton web site and the neck line on my T is right, it is a design feature. I have finished the T and actually the wavy neck line is quite nice when i have it on. Having trouble getting photos from camera to computer at moment, so as soon as i have sorted that i will post picture.
