Drafting a Built-Up Neckline (and Bateau Variation) on My Anya Dress

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to draft a built-up neckline using the Anya Dress as an example. I’ll also explain how to adapt the same draft to create a bateau (boat) neckline variation. Although the finished dress doesn’t have a true bateau neckline, the drafting process includes those steps — so if you want to create a built-up or bateau style, you’ll see exactly how to do it. This tutorial builds on your existing bodice block and focuses on neckline shape, width, and height adjustments. What you’ll learn: How to draft a built-up neckline on a fitted bodice How to adjust the neckline shape for a bateau (boat) style Where to raise or lower the neckline for balance and comfort If you’re learning patternmaking and want to explore different neckline styles, this tutorial will help you understand the drafting principles so you can apply them to your own designs.
