| 1 | We will begin this lesson by applying style tape to both sides of the dress form’s neckline. Here we have determined that our V-neck line drop will be 9” (22.9cm) down from the base of the neck, at center front. |
| 2 | The style tape for the neck width is positioned on both sides of the dress form at 3 ½” (8.9cm) from the neckline at the shoulder. |
| 3 | Your neck style tape connects to the neck drop on both sides of the dress form. |
