It is the basis for all other lapel and shawl collars that are drafted on the break line.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2523 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.muellerundsohn.com\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Kurzer-Reverskragen-naehen_MuellerundSohn.png\" alt=\"Abgebildet ist die Schnitt-Technik eines kurzen Reverskragens.\" width=\"671\" height=\"1677\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Lower the neckline 0 \u2013 1 cm at the shoulder and 0 \u2013 0.5 cm at the centre back (approx. half of the amount at the shoulder) How much the neckline is lowered depends on the desired fit of the collar; close to the basic neckline or away from the basic neckline. Mark the upper buttonhole. Add the overlap for the buttonstand. Mark the break point for the lapel 0 \u2013 1 cm above the upper button. A\u2013B<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Measure 1.5 \u2013 2 cm (here: 2 cm) for the collar stand.

A low-turning lapel needs less length at the outer edge of the collar. The perpendicular line starting at point C<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>is therefore shorter. The picture shows different variations for the lapel and the collar. A fitting of the collar on the dress form is nevertheless essential, since already slight differences change the fit.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2526 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.muellerundsohn.com\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Kurzer-Reverskragen-naehen_MuellerundSohn_04.png\" alt=\"Abgebildet ist die Schnitt-Technik eines kurzen Reverskragens.\" width=\"638\" height=\"1673\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Measure 1 \u2013 2 cm (here: 1 cm) from the lowered neckline to the left and draw an auxiliary line for the position of the collar neckline and the centre back of the collar. The distance between the auxiliary line and the neck point is another aspect that affects the length of the collar edge and the position of the centre back. If the line ends 2 cm away from the neck point, the collar receives more length at the outer edge. A longer outer edge is required for short, wide lapel collars and designs with shoulder pads (see figure 99). For a smaller lapel 1 \u2013 1.5 cm is sufficient (1 cm without shoulder pad, 1.5 cm with shoulder pad).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2527 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.muellerundsohn.com\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Kurzer-Reverskragen-naehen_MuellerundSohn_05.png\" alt=\"Abgebildet ist die Schnitt-Technik eines kurzen Reverskragens.\" width=\"548\" height=\"1020\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">This illustration shows the changing positions of the collar back for different positions of the auxiliary line.

Lengthen the gorge seam approx. 1.5 \u2013 2 cm &#8211; depending on the width of the collar stand over the break line and draw the neckline up to this point. Draw the collar line to the neckline. The collar line and the neckline overlap. Measure the collar fall and the collar stand at the centre back of the collar (the back collar stand is 0.5 cm wider than at the shoulder). Square out from both points. Draw the roll line and the styleline for the collar as shown in the picture.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2529 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.muellerundsohn.com\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Kurzer-Reverskragen-naehen_MuellerundSohn_07.png\" alt=\"Abgebildet sind die fertigen Schnittteile eines kurzen Reverskragens.\" width=\"669\" height=\"1102\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Separate the collar from the front pattern and complete the missing part at the overlap of the neck point. Compare the collar length with the neckline and adjust the length at the centre back of the collar if necessary. Draw the facing seam in the front pattern. Trace a copy of the front facing. Add the necessary roll width to the outer edge of the top collar and the lapel (0.3 \u2013 0.5 cm depending on the fabric). In general, the top collar is cut in the fabric fold unlike the undercollar which is designed with a seam at the centre back and cut on the bias grain. Depending on the fabric pattern the top collar is sometimes also cut on the bias grain (e.g. for plaids or stripes).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Low-turning lapel collar<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2531 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.muellerundsohn.com\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Langer-Reverskragen-naehen_MuellerundSohn.png\" alt=\"Zu sehen ist die technische Zeichnung eines Mantels mit langem Reverskragen.\" width=\"1890\" height=\"1290\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Convertible collar<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2546 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.muellerundsohn.com\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Sliponkragen-naehen_MuellerundSohn.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1890\" height=\"1290\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Double-breasted peak lapel collar<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2515 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.muellerundsohn.com\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Doppelreihiger-Reverskragen-naehen.png\" alt=\"Zu sehen ist die technische Zeichnung eines Mantels mit Reverskragen.\" width=\"1890\" height=\"1290\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Double-breasted shawl collar<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2517 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.muellerundsohn.com\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Doppelreihiger-Stehkragen-naehen.png\" alt=\"Zu sehen ist die technische Zeichnung eines doppelreihigen Stehkragens in Form eines Schalkragens.\" width=\"1890\" height=\"1290\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Rounded peak lapel collar with neckline dart<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2543 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.muellerundsohn.com\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Reverskragen-mit-Abna\u2560\u00eahervariante-naehen_0MuellerundSohn.png\" alt=\"Zu sehen ist die technische Zeichnung eines Mantels mit Reverskragen mit Abn\u00e4hervariante.\" width=\"1890\" height=\"1290\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Short, wide lapel collar<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2522 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.muellerundsohn.com\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Kurzer-breiter-Reverskragen-naehen_Schnitttechnik_MuellerundSohn.png\" alt=\"Zu sehen ist die technische Zeichnung eines Mantels mit kurzem breiten Reverskragen und Knopfleiste.\" width=\"1890\" height=\"1290\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Shawl collar with built-up effect<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2549 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.muellerundsohn.com\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Spatenstehkragen-naehen_MuellerundSohn.png\" alt=\"Zu sehen ist die technische Zeichnung eines Soppelreihers mit Spatenstehkragen.\" width=\"1890\" height=\"1290\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Further instructions for pattern construction and finished patterns for women&#8217;s fashion can be found in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muellerundsohn.com\/en\/shop\/\">online shop<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lapel and shawl collars are drafted either on the break line or directly on the joined front and back pattern.
