Fig. (50) Tailored waists are usually finished with a casing and elastic at the bottom
If you want the collar convertible, that is, so it can be worn high or unbuttoned and turned low, do not cut the neck edge in low outline. Use the regular high round neck on the pattern.
Fig. 59 shows a diagram for a convertible collar pattern. Make the line AB equal to the neck edge of the waist. Measure on the center-back line the height you want the collar and mark point C. Then draw the line CD parallel to AB. Mark point G the same distance from C that C is from A. From point G draw a line at right angle to line ACG as line GH, Fig. 59.
