Do-it-yourself collars on the dress - patterns

Removable collars have again become relevant recently. However, this is by no means an innovation. They were invented at the beginning of the 19th century by the American H. Montague. The reason for the recognition of this invention is the most prosaic: the collar quickly becomes dirty, and shirts from constant washing become unusable, and a compromise has been found. Many enterprising businessmen profit from this innovation (this is well described by T. Dreiser in “American Tragedy”). If you wear the same outfit with different accessories, you can create the effect of a diverse wardrobe without unnecessary expenses. In this article, we will consider what to wear and how to sew collars on a dress with your own hands (patterns, master class).

What to wear?

Before you sew a collar on a dress, decide how and with what you are going to wear this accessory. Here are a few tips that will surely be useful to you:

• If the garment has a “native” collar, then choose an accessory so that it completely covers it.
• It is advisable to combine collars with simple and modest clothes, devoid of catchy, eye-catching decor.
• The neckline can be anything: drop-shaped, heart-shaped, V-shaped, high, “boat”.
• Products that match the shade with the main product look best.
• Richly decorated collars emphasize the beauty of a thin, graceful neck.
• The design of the product is chosen, focusing on the shape of the face. For example, triangular cut accessories are suitable for chubby ladies. A stand or rounded model will suit ladies with an oblong face.

An ordinary, unprepossessing dress can be completely transformed if you purchase or independently sew a charming thing decorated with pearls or embroidered with rhinestones. However, why only a dress?

Removable collars look great with T-shirts, T-shirts, sweaters, tunics or even tops. The main thing is to carefully consider how exactly you want to update a pretty annoying image. For example, a biker product, decorated with rivets and spikes, creates an informal, daring image. A classic product makes the whole look strict, and a charming little thing with embroidery gives out a creative, romantic nature.

The description relates to a flat product.

Important! You can use the same materials to change the shape and width of the product. When plotting a pattern, be sure to consider the circumference of the neck. This is necessary so that the collar on the dress with your own hands fits perfectly.

The upper part of the product is made of fur. In accordance with the pattern, cut out the details:

• 2 fur parts.

Important! When cutting out details, step back 1 cm in all directions.

Operating procedure:
