How To Make A Drape Neckline Top.


 

 Today, I thought of teaching you how to make a drape top as I wanted to make one for myself but I do not have enough time to break it down for your to understand and learn how to make one, so I thought of sharing from sewing.com as she was able to explain in detail how you would understand even though mine would be different in explanation but it's all same thing. Hopefully, some day, I will have more time for blogging.

WHAT  IS DRAPE NECKLINE?
A drape neckline consists of folds of fabric that fall from the neck creating a draping effect in the front of your bodice. With this neckline you do not need an additional scarf as it gives a scarf like appearance.
You find this style popularly stitched in knit fabrics, but  you can use any fabric to sew this style as long as the fabric is drapey.
Other than those soft draping darling folds this necklines make in satin gowns, I love this style especially in the back of dresses. When using this neckline in the back it is usually combined with a boat neck.  Checkout the different styles of drape neck fashion. 
The pattern below is to make a medium cowl neck top. You can adapt it to sew this neckline to the back also.

 Step 1 Cut out the back pattern
Cut this on a folded fabric as per the picture below. It has a boxy shape ; if you are skinny you can look good in this shape but not many are. So slightly shape the waist as in the picture below.  Do so for the front pattern as well.

Step 2 Cut out the front pattern


Step 3 Bind the necklines

You will need to cut out bias stripes of fabric to bind the necklines of both the front and back pattern. Check out the post on making bias tape. I stitched the bias tape right sides together to the neckline edge. Then understitched the seam allowance and bias tape together and then turned the bias tape to the back and whip stitched it.
