Question

Which of the following points should be kept in mind while making necklines?
(A) Measurement which is taken diagonally should be marked diagonally on the pattern.
(B) If neckline is made wider in front, same needs to be done for back.
(C) Avoid deeper neckline for both front and back at the same time.
(D) If neckline is made wider in front, back neckline need not to be made wider.

• A. (A), (B), and (D) only
• B. (A), (C), and (D) only
• C. (A), (B), and (C) only
• D. (B), (C), and (D) only

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Let's evaluate each point related to making necklines:

Measurement taken diagonally should be marked diagonally on the pattern: This is incorrect. Neckline measurements typically follow the contours of the neck and should be marked based on the design, rather than strictly following diagonal measurements.

If the front neckline is widened, the same must be done for the back: This is correct. When adjusting the front neckline, it is important to maintain balance and symmetry, especially for comfort and fit. If the front neckline is widened, it's generally best to widen the back neckline to maintain the overall proportions of the garment.

Avoid deep necklines for both front and back simultaneously: This is correct. Deep necklines in both the front and back can make the garment less practical and can lead to excessive exposure, which is generally avoided for a more balanced and modest design.

A wider front neckline doesn’t necessarily mean the back should also be widened: This is correct. You can widen the front neckline without necessarily altering the back neckline. Adjusting the back neckline depends on the overall design and fit, not just the front neckline.

Thus, the correct answer is (2) (A), (C), and (D) only, as points (A), (C), and (D) are the correct guidelines when making necklines.

Answer 2

For accurate neckline design: - Diagonal measurements should be transferred directly to maintain precision. - Deep front and back necklines together can compromise the fit and support. - If the front neckline is widened, it is not mandatory to alter the back neckline in the same way. Option (B) is invalid since the back does not have to mirror the front in all aspects.
