Neckline

Neckline -A neckline is the part of bodice around the neck. It can be of various shapes and sizes.
Type of necklines
1 Asymmetrical
An asymmetrical neckline does not mirror the other side. It is commonly combined with higher necklines to create
cut-out shapes around the collarbone. (Fig 1)
2 Boat neckline
The boat neckline, also known as a bateau, sits under the collarbone, highlighting the shoulders and neck. A boat
neckline can make narrow shoulders look broader and wide hips more balanced. (Fig 2)

3 V-neck
A V-neck is made up of two lines dipping down into the shape of a “V.” This neckline is very flattering for many
body shapes and is seen a lot in men’s fashion, also.V-necks can be found on knitted jumpers, vests, t-shirts,
dresses, and sing lets. (Fig 3)
4 Cowl neck
A cowl neck is a flattering neckline made up of loosely draped fabric that hangs around your neck or collarbone.
Cowl necks are constructed during the pattern drafting stage by widening the neckline edge, almost like a paper
fan. The excess fabric drapes into a cowl neck when the garment is worn.This neckline is suitable for woven,
stretch and knit fabrics. (Fig 4)
