Portrait collar is a wide collar built on a low neckline, characterized by a soft scoop from the tip of one shoulder to the tip of the other. It “frames” the face and this explains the origin of the collar’s  name. For evening gowns and wedding dresses it is often built on a Decollete. Décolleté (day-cole-tay) is a French word that describes the low neckline of a woman's dress or top—and in the beauty world, it means the area of the chest and neck that a low-cut top would expose.
Portrait collars can be designed in a variety of styles and not only for the dresses but for the shirts, jackets or any other tops.Watching the video instructions you will prepare the fabric pieces, learn the steps of
draping, marking and trueing the collars. At the end you will transfer the draped collar onto paper and produce paper patterns.
