For my bridesmaids I want a boat neckline that droops at the front and the back -like a cowl neckline. How would I describe this to a dressmaker?

I Think U shaped necked t- shirt, V shaped T- shirt and quite open shirt with neckless looks smart and beautiful. I usually wear V shaped necked long t- shirt in bright colour.

I think halter necks are really nice and flattering but I also like v necks. And I have lately really got into polo necks especially black ones I think are really flattering

I always heard the scoop neckline classified as crew or jewel when it is above or at the collarbone. And I have always seen scoop necklines as being lower than the collarbone. Those jewel/crew/scoop necklines above the collarbone are the least flattering on most people.

I love sewing and making clothes and dresses, and I also run a small tailoring business.I find inspiration from fashion televion programs and magazines. Children dresses also attracts new ideas for me. I feel every dress has its own beauty and uniqueness which cannot be replicated. I apply this thought when I design my own clothes.

I am in my early sixties but look much younger (I’m often told). I am 5′2″ with a neck that is not real long (I hate using the word “short” to describe anything other what I had wished WOULD be”short”… the horribly boring movie “The Incredibles” which went on for what seemed like the longest two hours in my entire life). Anyway, the type of neckline that is by far the most flattering for me is a skinny strap fitted black camisole like they sell at Nordstrom…without the built in bra. (I can wear my black bra under it for modesty if/when I need to. (Built in bras often give you The Muffin Top look we are all trying to avoid). Also the Yummie Tummie v neck tops are very comfortable and flattering if you avoid the Freedom style which was impossible to get into to.
