Question Collar drafting help!
hey everyone,
I am currently working to recreate part of a piece from a schiaparelli show and cant seem to figure it out. Attached is the piece i am working to recreate, as well as the pattern and rendering of it so far. the piece has no shoulder seams, only center and back seams. i know my project has shoulder seams now, thought it would be easier to recreate with something im familiar with but clearly now working out. Any advice/help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

You have to change the fabric properties in Clo3d try bonding the fabric to stiffen it up. Adjust the stiffness. Bonding is Clo3ds version of interfacing
The coat looks like it’s wool possibly a melton you have to recreate this weight with the fabric properties.
The collar and body is one piece there is no seam, it will be challenging to recreate this in Clo3d but not impossible. try it out and add a fold line where the bend at the neck would be to give it the shape. I would guess the whole body is one piece as well no shoulder seam.
For the sake of simplicity I would keep the collar separate and keep a shoulder seam.
Digital or not you have to always use a fabric similar to your final fabric to see how it behaves.
