THE BUYING ANSWER
Start with a clear definition.
Record the visible collar height and the underlying neck opening as separate details. Identify whether folds or ruffles are measured flat or in their finished arrangement. A taller collar is an appearance change that still needs physical fit review.
The decision behind the detail.
Increasing collar height can change how the decoration sits around the face. Compare the whole sample rather than approving only a close-up of the fabric.
PREPARE ONLY WHAT IS RELEVANT
Three details to bring.
- Height definition
- Identify the seam-to-edge measurement and finished condition.
- Opening reference
- Link the unchanged or revised neck opening measurement.
- Appearance intent
- Describe the intended upright, folded or relaxed shape.
Check together
- Check the collar from front and side views.
- Keep collar height separate from neck circumference.
- Revisit fit if the collar construction changes.
