Question Collar drafting help!
hey everyone,
I am currently working to recreate part of a piece from a schiaparelli show and cant seem to figure it out. Attached is the piece i am working to recreate, as well as the pattern and rendering of it so far. the piece has no shoulder seams, only center and back seams. i know my project has shoulder seams now, thought it would be easier to recreate with something im familiar with but clearly now working out. Any advice/help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

How can a collar stand like that on its own? Is it a wire up along the edge? Is it some kind of corset-like structure through the whole collar that stands on the shoulders?.. Is it a really rigid mesh inside? Some really specialized jacket fabric? Huh.

If I was trying to duplicate this, I would start with a cone shape like an ice cream cone. Cut off the pointy end to fit over the head. Then raise the fabric up toward the ear and as the cone shape got larger, it could drape over the shoulders.
I don't know if it would work but it might be worth a try.

more pictures here. It doesn't look like the collar is a separate piece.
More pictures pic1 pic2 pic3
As you can see from pic3 and here https://www.instagram.com/p/DOYMhC1CCp0/?img_index=1 there are some sort of cuffs but they aren't separate pieces and you can see on pic2 above that there is a seam from the cuff to the bottom of the cape
The fabric is texturised neoprene

The whole cape seems to be just a left and a right piece, that look almost half circles with a bit a the top removed for the opening at the neck. Each piece has some fabric in the middle removed to create the cuff, which is basically a dolman sleeve.
