 On your diagram, draw a new line where the outer edge of the collar, raised on the band, will come. See line AB, Fig. 66. Measure around this line and it will give you the new outer edge measurement for the collar.

Mark lines for splitting your collar pattern as in Fig. 67. After the pattern is cut apart lap the outer edges of the pieces sufficiently to bring the outer edge measurement the same as line AB, Fig. 66. (See Fig. 68.) In cutting the collar pattern, allow seams at all edges except the center-back. Fig. 69 shows the collar made up.
