EXERCISE 05

To produce three facing collars with the bodice using calico fabric.

01 FACING COLLAR

The first facing collar I did was following from Mr Riza's tutorial. This facing collar is a simple round neck collar. I drafted the collar from my bodice block front and back. After that, I cut out the interfacing as well as the collar from calico fabric.
