132 TURN-OVER COLLAR

LESSON NO. 55

The turn-over collar is cut in half sizes only When measuring the neck wanted, use half of measurement. Now remember, the amount of the neck measurement and if taken with seams use the amount as taken and if measurements are taken without seams, allow 1 inch for two half seams.

Now begin to draft, draw a line from A to C and A to F; A to B and A to E is 1 square inch up to D. Measure from E to F the half amount of neck measurement and 1 inch for seams and divide the same, which makes I. Draw curved lines from B and D to F and allow from F to G a half inch and draw a curved line from E to G, as shown on the diagram.

The collar stand for this collar is between D and E and F to G and when the lines from A to C, I to H and G to J are all drawn up, measure the width of collar from B to C, I to H and F to J about 3 inches in width and in order to get the front part of this collar in proper shape, measure from F to K the same amount as the width of collar and draw a line from K to J and divide, which makes X and draw a line from F against X to L and measure from F to L the same space as the regular width of collar and curve as shown on the diagram from E and D to C and from C, H, J and L to F. Remember that the fold of the stand is at D and 1 to F. This completes the collar.
