Necklines

As different garments require different neckline finishes, In this workshop you will be taught the three different methods for finishing necklines - facing, binding, and ribbing.

Necklines are most important in any garment as they frame the face. They are designed in a way to complement one’s best features and conceal poor ones. Hence, picking the right choice of fabric, the colour and texture is really important.

Necklines of a garment should harmonize with :

• The size of the person
