11 Round neck or Crew neck

As the name suggests, the round neck or crew neck is a simple, rounded shape. This style neckline is trendy and
commonly seen on t-shirts and other clothing.(Fig 11)
12 Scalloped neckline

A scalloped neckline consists of convex curves around the neck. The neckline can be shaped in a V-neck, round,
scooped, one-shoulder or plunging style. It is best constructed from sturdier, woven fabrics or with interfacing to
help keep the curved shapes in place. (Fig 12)

13 Square neck
A square neckline adds a lovely contrast to curves and elongates a short neck and narrow shoulders. This
neckline can work well for bigger or smaller busts.(Fig 13)

14 Scoop neckline
A scoop neckline is like a round neck but is more scooped in shape, making the neckline sit more profound on the
chest. A scoop neckline reveals more than a round neck by emphasizing your collarbone area.(Fig 14)
