Zip is at the side.but since the cowl neck is not at the back means you can add zip there if u want

First it depend on how full u want that gathering to be.and yes there are different ways of explaining this process but at the end fundamental principles must be followed.

The principle of this neck line is that it must sag at all times but you the designer will determine the fullness u want.

Look closely at the 4 pictures .you will see that there are like 2 types there. The fullness, shape and depth of the neckline are major distinctive factors separating the way they look

Iook at these 2 pictures

Picture 1 is straight.
Identify the middle.
Pull the middle down.that process will bring the shoulder area together, when you get to you desire measurement for the shoulder u stop.

That's one way of doing it

weldone God bless u richly. pls I notice Dis crowl neck doesn't av a dart. is it dat not all materials will use darts or wat. despite d fact dat dual r diff types oda darts I can't see any on Dis one or some previous ones. tanks

You welcome sis.the sag on this neck line won't allow a dart work well on it.generally darts as for reduction in fullness on a fabric, while cowl necks are ment to have fullness.

Welldon ma,I don't have any issue with d back just the front,after making mine I noticed d front is too bulky that's why I haven't add my sleve to it.pls madam what can I do

My finished project. I opted for a dress but I have another material that I may use for a top.

toyour: Welldon ma,I don't have any issue with d back just the front,after making mine I noticed d front is too bulky that's why I haven't add my sleve to it.pls madam what can I do

You have to cut the bottom part to look the same as the back in order to give the shape you want. If you look at the pictures Efosa posted, you will see that the waist and bottom part are smaller than the top. Hope that helps.

thanks efosa,for ur explanation.,it was reallyy of help but how do do the self facing?

Thank u ma ..................Pls ma I have a small issue in cutting this folding flare,I dnt know if u can include it in one of ur coming lectures,since its very crucial in making peplums

Well fabrics in the silk family are better for cowl neck that's why chiffon stretchy and the likes are used coz of the way it flows. Using Ankara or others,well not that it won't work,but u might not like the end result.
