STANDING COLLAR

LESSON NO. 110

In beginning collars for misses' sizes all there has to be remembered is the difference in neck measurement between women's and misses' sizes. You will find on the table of proportions for misses' that the neck measurement for size 16 misses' is 13 inches and therefore the amount for all collars should be 13 inches for misses instead of 14 inches as for women and otherwise all instructions are about the same. All there has to be remembered is that the width of collars never change and the amount of space used for width remains for all sizes alike. To fully understand each collar follow up each collar separately.

For the standing collar for which diagram is shown above, the space between A and B is 3 inches for width and the space between B and D is 1 inch more than the neck measurement which means that if the neck space is 13 inches, the space between B and D shall be 14 inches. E to F is half between B and D. From B to H and D to I is 1 inch up and G is 1 inch down and A to K and C to J are ½ inches each.

AUTOMOBILE COLLAR

LESSON NO. 111

The automobile collar is built on the same principles as the standing collar as changes explained in lesson for women's size collar with the understanding that the width of collar between A and L and B and M, which is the top collar remains and so does the under collar remain from A to H and B to I. The space from C to D and C to E also remains 1 inch and therefore all there has to be remembered in addition to the width is the measurement of the neck which is 13 inches for size 16 and therefore the space between A and B shall be 14 inches for this collar, which makes the 1 inch more allowed for seams.
