Neckline and collars
Neckline and collars... From every angle!
Ever since women (and men) left the Greek himation (which became an Etruscan and then Roman “toga”), the need arose to dress in something that goes over or under and stays attached. at shoulder level. But you see the problem like me: - If I want a garment to go through the bottom, it must exceed a place of one meter in circumference to hold in place above; - If I want a garment to go over the top, it must go beyond a place that is 60 cm, which will widen immediately afterwards to pass the shoulders and hold it in place in one place which is 40 cm... And all this without buttons, zippers or Velcro. Thus was born the concept of neckline. A kind of Strait of Gibraltar that separates a sea (already quite big = it's the head, in our human frame of reference) from an ocean (there, downright gigantic = it's the shoulders, in this same frame of reference).
