A rolled collar is a simple but endlessly versatile neckline detail. Unlike a man's shirt collar, which uses a separate stand piece to hold the collar up at the neckline, a rolled collar requires no more than an upper collar and an undercol-lar. It's the shaping of the pattern pieces that creates the collar's lift and roll at the neckline-so the collar forms a self-stand. A new collar is a great way to transform a favorite, well-fitting garment pattern. By changing the shape and size of the collar's perimeter, you can vary the height of the self-stand, as well as the width and silhouette of the collar. Sewing a rolled collar is quicker than sewing a collar with a separate stand, and the results are perfect for garment styles ranging from casual camp shirts to softly tailored ladies' jackets. You can achieve a wide range of looks, from blouses with dainty little collars to jackets with broad, dramatic, face-framing collars.
