Abstract
The authors took an accurate measurement of neck-line which was needed to make the basic pattern by the somatotype or the silhouette and provided some basic data for pattern making.
It was founded the properties of the intersectional line between bodice and neck under several conditions. For example, the neck inclination, the neck position, or the cross section of the neck.
We also found that the cross section of the neck and its neck-line could be represented approximately by combining together two kinds of semi-ellipse.
