Inspiration

Necklines can be utilized to our benefit. We will make ourselves seem taller or body our face for a defining look. A built-up neckline, often known as a stovepipe or funnel neckline, is a design factor whereby the neckline seems longer because the garment’s neckline extends upward past the pure neck, making a steady piece that’s seamlessly built-in throughout the bodice. In contrast to a standard stand collar, this neckline is lower as a part of the bodice sample, with no separate seam across the neck.Examples of built-up or funnel necklines by: Alice & Olivia, Proenza Schoeler and Hole.
