Neckline

The neckline is the edge at the neck. Its shape sets much of the character of a garment, whether round, V shaped or boat shaped.

In the file

Facings and bias bindings follow the neckline. In a vector program or pattern CAD its curve is copied and offset, so the finishing piece comes off the edge it belongs to instead of being measured again.
