Noon at the OK Corral

In between wasting truly staggering amounts of time futzing around on Ravelry, I've actually managed to partially write up the pattern for Sorelle...and to take a few modeled photos, which nicely demonstrate why it is generally not recommended to schedule photo shoots for high noon.  It's only owing to Photoshop that all of her details are not completely washed out.

The Four Sisters stitch pattern admittedly does not have as much of a starring role in this pattern as I had originally envisioned, with Bead Stitch instead filling in at neck and hem and cuffs; however, I think that more Four Sisters, on front or back or sides, would have been too much of a good thing.

I'd be interested on hearing opinions on the neckband:  too much lace?  Just enough?  Too wide?  (It seems to cover my bra straps with only very occasional adjustment.)  Try picturing this with just a simple narrow neckband as a point of comparison.
