Heavy bust: a medium V or U at about 6 to 7 inches, with a hook if the fabric is soft.
Short neck: keep the front open, about 6 inches, and avoid collars.

Suit Neck Depth Guide

Neck	Front	Back
Round daily	about 5 to 6 in	about 3 to 5 in
Boat	about 3 to 4 in, wide	about 4 to 6 in
Square or U	about 6 to 7 in	about 4 to 6 in
Collar or band	1 to 4 in placket	1 to 2 in
Party deep U	about 8 to 9 in	about 7 to 10 in

Finishing and Trims That Last

Self facing is the plainest finish and works for cotton. Piping or bias binding holds the shape on rayon and georgette. Cotton lace, pintucks and thread work survive the machine. Gota, zari and pearls last longer with a gentle hand wash. Always pre-wash lace and piping cord before stitching so they do not shrink later.

Neckline questions

Which suit neck design is best for daily wear?

A round neck of about 5.5 inches with self piping or a small keyhole is the easiest. It washes well, needs no ironing fuss and suits most faces.

What is a good suit neck design for women who work?

Mandarin collars, shirt collars and round necks with a short notch look neat all day. They do not slip and they stay crisp under a lanyard or a cardigan.

How do I match a suit neck and sleeves design?

Repeat one detail on both. If the neck has piping, pipe the sleeve hem too. A collar looks best with cuffs or plain three-quarter sleeves.

Which neck design suits a round face?

V, U and square necks work well because they add length to the face. Keep the front at about 6 to 7 inches and avoid tight, high necks.

What should I tell my darzi about a suit ka neck design?

Give the front depth, back depth and width in inches, say how to finish it (facing, piping or binding) and where the closure goes. Showing a picture with these notes saves a trial.
