Collar

Collar
A collar is added to a neckline to enhance its appearance. Collars are made of double layer of fabrics. It also helps
to finish the raw edges of the neckline.
Types of Collars
The three basic types are flat, standing and rolled.
1 Flat – lies flat and next to the garment at the neckline. When the corners are rounded, they are called Peter
Pan.(Fig 1)
2 Full Roll – the fall and stand are about the same height at centre back.(Fig 2)

3 Partial Roll – has less stand and more fall.(Fig 3)

Other variations of collar are:
1 Convertible – It is similar to a full roll, but hugs the neckline closer at the sides of the neck/shoulder.(Fig 4)
2 Shawl – It is recognized by its centre back seam. The under collar is cut as part of the bodice.(Fig 5)
