A COMPLETE COURSE IN DRESSMAKING
_-_Fig_64.png)
Fig. (64) If the blouse is linen or dimity, try binding the edge of the round collar of the band to the neck of the blouse; then turn under outer edge and stitch or hand fell, as described in joining collar to tailored blouse.
Making a Pattern for a Fancy Collar: It is possible to vary the outline of the collar as much as you please. Fig. 70 shows the diagram for a collar with a fancy outline.
Place the block pattern on another piece of paper with the shoulder edges of the front and back touching and mark around the pieces. Then, draw the neck outline in any desired shape. Fig. 70 shows a V-neck line. If you want a collar as shown in Fig. 71, draw the outer edge as you would for a round collar; line BC, Fig. 70. Then, draw the fancy tabs as ED and IH.
