Draw the outer edge of the collar an equal distance from the neck edge. Measure from the neck edge at intervals and then swing in the outer edge of the collar, free hand, with a sweep of the arm to get an even graceful curve. From the front of the blouse pattern at the neck, draw a line to the outer edge of the collar at any angle that you want the front edge of the collar to finish. See line CD, Fig. 62. Then, round off the front corner if desired.

In cutting out the pattern allow seams at all edges except the center-back. The center-back edge will be placed on the fold of the goods in cutting.
