Collars and lapels

Algorithms for pattern making of collars and lapels for top apparel parts. Collars, developed in a separate drawing (classic collar with a band). Collars developed in a joint drawing between the front and the back piece (lying collars, collars in a fantasy style). Collars developed in a joint drawing with the front piece (notch lapel, peak lapel, shawl collar). Variable values for the modeling of the construction of lapel collars according to the specifics of the style.

Collars, developed in a separate drawing

Band collar

Input pieces: Front and Back piece. Measure the sum of the back neckline and front neckline length


Draw auxiliary points and lines for the band


 

 

Classic collar with a band

Draw auxiliary points and lines for the collar

Trace the pieces 

Make mirror pieces

Create notches for assembling the pieces


Collars, developed in a joint drawing between the front and the back piece

Collar in fantasy style (“sailor”- type)

Measure the sum of the back neckline and front neckline length

Set and rotate pieces


Construct the outer contour of the collar as a digitized line


Draw a new neck line as a digitized line


Collars developed in a joint drawing with the front piece

Basics


Variable values for the modeling of the construction of lapel collars according to the specifics of the style

  • Addition for overlapping in the front middle

  • Beginning of the lapel

  • Width of the band

  • Width of the back neckline

  • Length of the lapel folding line

  • Angle of inclination of the lapel

  • Width of the collar

  • Length of the seam between the lapel and the collar

  • Width of the lapel at its peak

  • Angle of between the collar and the lapel at its peak

  • Width of the collar at the peak of the lapel

  • Variable determining the shape of the lapel

  • Variable determining the shape of the collar


Notch lapel collar

Measure the back neckline length


Set the addition for overlapping in the front middle

Beginning of the lapel


Extension in the shoulder line


Coordination with the length of the back neckline


Draw the lapel folding line

Set the length of the lapel folding line


Set the angle of inclination of the lapel


Draw the folding line of the collar


Draw the band


Create the middle line of the collar with the import the width of the collar

Set the length of the seam between the lapel and the collar, width of the lapel at its peak, angle of between the collar and the lapel at its peak, width of the collar at the peak of the lapel


Shape the outer contour of the collar


Shape the outer contour of the lapel as a digitized line


Draw the front facing


Trace the pieces


Realign the pieces: the band and the collar


Create notches for assembling the band and the collar


Reshape the outer contour of the lapel with additional width


Output pieces: front, front facing, band, collar
