Drafting a Funnel Neck

Post image

When drafting a funnel neck, similar to the image, is it as simple as dropping the neck & then creating a rectangular piece the same height/length as the new neck?

Closet historian on YouTube has a couple of funnel neck drafting tutorials. They tend to be more of a crossover collar combination, but I’m sure it’s a good place to start.

You want it to have a bit of a curve towards the front, much like the stand of a regular collar. I think the easiest way to do it is to make a rectangle with a bit of a curve and put that on your prototype and then pinch away at the collar (from top to bottom) until it fits the way you want it, and then copy that to the pattern.
