Fashion Design Essentials: Necklines and Collars - Episode # 1

Necklines and Collars

Part of designing a dress, gowns, top, blouses is to choose a proper and aesthetically pleasant neckline that goes well with your idea and your design in general.

Today I want to teach you some of the most used necklines and collar styles and some styles you probably didn't know and that would skyrocket your fashion designs to the next level.

Let’s face it, the neckline style is a defining factor when it comes to the overall look. I made a video about this important topic and I hope you find it useful for your designs.
Please watch it and share it with more designers!
Thank you,
