Thinking about the collar

I've been thinking about the collar for the dress I'm making at college. The pattern I was going for was New Look 6824, using combination B,C,G:

However, looking at the pattern of the material that I have picked, I don't think it will look very nice with the collar.

I had a bit of a play with Paint and came up with a mock up of what it might look like:

With (dodgy cut-and-paste) collar

Without collar

I just can't see it complementing the outfit. I'm going to have to cut out the piece and try it for real, but I don't think I will be going for it in the end.
