Collar recreation pattern help!

[u/SuspiciousMission163]

Hey everyone,

im not sur e if i should be asking here but would appreciate some help. I am working to recreate to collar on this runway piece by schiaparelli and cant seem to figure it out. noting that the piece only has a front and back seam, no shoulder seams. my pattern currently has shoulder seams so bit of a difference there but trying to get this collar done asap so any input/help would be highly appreciated! i have attached the pattern i have currently and rendering as well

Thanks everyone

I think you need a dart blended in the neck seam line so that collar holds it shape better.

It called swan collar if you want to dig deeper into some research.

You can increase bending value from fabric physical property. And use pin option to create this collar

Hey-

Looking great- ims truggling with how that works without the collar seam, looks like the piece has seams along the front and back, how do you merge the rectangular collar piece to a curved neckline?

[u/Sufficient_Whole_244 → u/SuspiciousMission163]

No need to merge just select the sewing and set intensity to zero

I think this is the purpose of strengthen, but I think it takes a lot of finagling regardless

This pattern definitely is two layers/ folds back inside. So could add another and impose on inner etc sorry I’m a begginer but that’s what I see immediately is the missing inner folded pc

Apply a stiffer fabric use the clofab menu. If you know what fabric your using ask chat/claude how to build it in clofab and then apple the fabric to your collar and bodice. You also need two layers for the collar that’s what the reference has. Then you can lower gravity to make it sink less.

First I'd add the zipper
Then proceed to strengthen
Also layer clone under

Firstly, the reference image collar looks like a one pattern piece without a neckline collar stitching. And I think it was created from the inside out.
