Inspiration
Necklines can be utilized to our benefit. We are able to make ourselves seem taller or body our face for a defining look. A built-up neckline, also called 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. Not like a conventional stand collar, this neckline is lower as a part of the bodice sample, with no separate seam across the neck.
