In this video, Izzy demonstrates how to create a frilled collar, a romantic and elegant collar with draped frills, using a bespoke bodice block.

Izzy begins by outlining the tools required and instructs viewers to prepare their bodice block, using a combined waist dart. She emphasises that this video focuses on collar construction, not the entire garment.

The tutorial starts by shaping the neckline and adding a dart for a smooth bust fit. Izzy then extends the shoulder line and overlaps the back bodice with the front. She demonstrates how to shape the collar and create a pattern piece for it.

The video progresses with instructions on manipulating the collar pattern piece to add volume and create the frills. Izzy guides viewers through measuring and dividing the neckline, cutting and pivoting the pattern piece, and creating a new pattern piece with seam allowances.

The tutorial progresses with instructions on creating pattern pieces for the back bodice, back facing, front bodice, and front facing, including adding seam allowances and annotations.

The tutorial progresses with instructions on sewing the darts, attaching the shoulder seams, sewing the facing pieces, sewing the collar pieces, attaching the collar to the bodice, attaching the facing to the bodice, and sewing the side seams. Izzy guides viewers through each step, including trimming and clipping the seams.

Izzy concludes by showcasing the finished frilled collar top, highlighting its romantic aesthetic and the draping effect of the frills.
