WHY CLIQD IS DIFFERENT

Traditional drafting methods create a one-piece collar, which needs to moulded into the correct shape by skilled machinists when sewn. Plus, it doesn't work if your breakline is too curved.

This course shows you how to draft a fitted two-piece collar, which is used in the industry to save time, get consistent results, and give more design flexibility.
