This neck opening is for drawing something that you have a draped neckline with. A draped
neckline means that there's fabric bunching up, and hanging. It's falling. Typically,
it's going to work the best in reality with knit or with silk. With muslin or cotton,
you're not going have, you're not going to be able to have the drape factor. Draping
means liquidity, pretty much in all, OK, that's not a general definition. But in my mind,
when I want to drape something, and I'm doing it on my dress form, draping means that it's
got a liquid quality to it. The fabric goes, just waterfalls and cascades down. This, that
I have right here, I have these dotted line, dash lines drawn in. What this symbolizes,
on a technical drawing is that there's a piece underneath. That there's a neck facing underneath,
that gets, that is what is causing it to be pulled down like this, and what's starting
the drape to begin with. So, that, if you do a dash line, it means it's on the inside
of the fabric. It's technically, invisible.
