Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothing, specifically to a dress collar, which is particularly suitable for V-neck dresses, tops, and shirts. It aims to improve the sturdiness and aesthetics of the collar by optimizing its structure, and to solve the problems of traditional V-neck dress, top, and shirt collars being easy to tear and deform. Background Technology

[0002] Dresses, tops, and shirts are common categories of everyday clothing, and the collar, as a key structural component, not only affects the overall aesthetics but also directly relates to durability. Currently, most V-neck dresses, tops, and shirts on the market use a traditional design where the collar face (opening) is directly sewn to the collar base (inner collar patch / lining). This structure connects the collar face (opening) and collar base (inner collar patch / lining) with only a single seam. Because the V-neck has a "V"-shaped opening, during wear, neck movements and clothing pulling will concentrate the force on the tip of the "V" and the seam where it connects to the front panel of the dress, top, or shirt. The direct sewing connection relies solely on the strength of the fabric itself to withstand tensile forces, resulting in limited strength. After prolonged use, the neckline seams are prone to fabric fiber breakage and seam loosening due to continuous stress, leading to tearing. At the same time, the single two-layer fabric structure lacks sufficient support, and after washing, drying, or wearing friction, problems such as neckline edge warping and "V" shape deformation may occur, which not only shortens the lifespan of the dress but also damages the overall appearance of the garment, resulting in a poor wearing experience for consumers. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problems of easy tearing, easy deformation, and poor durability caused by structural design defects in existing V-neck dress collars, and to provide a dress collar that is structurally stable, durable, and aesthetically pleasing.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A dress collar includes a collar face, a collar base, and a strip of fabric, wherein the collar face is sewn together with the collar base, and the strip of fabric is disposed at the bottom of a V-neck and is fixedly connected to the collar base.

[0005] Furthermore, to ensure the stability of the connection between the collar face and the collar bottom, and to lay the foundation for the subsequent reinforcement structure of adding fabric strips, the collar face and the collar bottom are fixedly connected by sewing. The sewing process can adopt conventional garment sewing techniques such as flat sewing and overlock sewing to ensure that the connection between the collar face and the collar bottom is tight and not easy to loosen, forming the basic support structure of the collar.

[0006] Furthermore, the fabric strip is fixedly connected to the neckline by sewing. This sewing method enables the fabric strip and the neckline to form a stable integrated structure, preventing the fabric strip from shifting. Moreover, the fabric strip is sewn at the position corresponding to the seam allowance of the front piece of the dress at the bottom of the V-neck. The seam allowance of the front piece is the area where the V-neck is most stressed (in daily wear, the pulling force of clothing and the tension generated by neck movements tend to converge here). By precisely placing the fabric strip here, the core stress area can be directly reinforced, maximizing the load-bearing capacity of the fabric strip.

[0007] Furthermore, to achieve comprehensive reinforcement of the V-neck and avoid the risk of tearing in uncovered areas, the length of the fabric strip is adapted to the length of the V-neck, or it can be freely designed, as long as the neckline is not damaged. The fabric strip should completely cover the entire area from the V-shaped tip to the junction of the neckline and the garment body on both sides. When the neckline is subjected to tension in any direction, the fabric strip can distribute the tension across the entire covered area, rather than concentrating it at a single point, significantly reducing the stress load on the local fabric.

[0008] Furthermore, the width of the fabric strip is 1-3cm. This width range has been verified through stress testing: when the width is less than 1cm, the load-bearing area of ​​the fabric strip is too small, making it prone to breakage due to excessive tension; when the width is greater than 3cm, the fabric strip will result in an excessively thick bottom layer of the collar, affecting the fit around the neck and increasing fabric costs. A width of 1-3cm ensures that the fabric strip has sufficient load-bearing area, distributing the tension at the neckline through its own fabric strength, while also avoiding excessive thickness.

[0009] Furthermore, to ensure the collar's harmony with the overall dress design and to avoid uneven stress during wear due to a mismatch between the collar's outline and the neckline (e.g., an overly large outline can lead to localized looseness and stretching, while an overly small outline can cause the fabric to become tight and prone to tearing), the collar outline formed after the collar face and collar base are sewn together matches the outline of the V-neck. The collar precisely fits the edge of the dress neckline, distributing tension evenly across the entire neckline joint rather than concentrating it in localized gaps, thus reducing the risk of deformation and tearing caused by mismatched outlines.

[0010] Furthermore, to prevent excessive collar thickness from affecting wearing comfort and the overall lightness of the garment, and to prevent wrinkles and deformation during neck movement, the sum of the thicknesses of the collar face, collar bottom, and fabric strip should not exceed twice the thickness of the dress body fabric. This thickness design enhances the collar's support through a three-layer structure (collar face, collar bottom, and fabric strip), preventing the V-shaped silhouette from collapsing or deforming due to insufficient support in single / double-layer fabrics. It also maintains the collar's softness and lightness, ensuring a snug fit against the neck curve and minimizing the likelihood of indentations or wrinkles.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: Enhanced durability supported by tear resistance principle: By adding a strip of fabric to the bottom layer of the V-neck, a three-layer stress-bearing structure is formed, consisting of the collar face, collar bottom, and fabric strip. The fabric strip can directly distribute the tensile force on the collar opening. When the collar opening is pulled by external force, the tensile force is no longer borne solely by the seam between the collar face and collar bottom and the fabric itself, but is transferred to the fabric strip through the sewn connection, distributing the tensile force over a larger area (the area covered by the fabric strip) and reducing the stress load on the local fabric. At the same time, the fabric strip is made of the same material as the collar bottom and collar face, enabling synchronous stress and deformation, avoiding fiber breakage caused by local stress concentration. This completely solves the problem of traditional collars being prone to tearing from a structural perspective. Tests have shown that the tear resistance of this structure is more than 60% higher than that of the traditional structure.

[0012] Maintaining aesthetics and stability under the support of anti-deformation principles: The addition of fabric strips not only reinforces the neckline but also enhances the overall support of the collar through a three-layer structure, preventing the V-shaped silhouette from collapsing or warping due to insufficient support from double-layer fabrics. At the same time, the fabric strip length is matched to the neckline, and the material is consistent with the collar face and collar bottom, ensuring that the collar shrinks evenly after washing and does not deform locally. In addition, designs such as non-overlapping seams and controlled thickness within a reasonable range ensure that the collar is flat and crisp, maintaining the beautiful silhouette of the V-neck while avoiding discomfort caused by structural optimization, achieving a dual improvement in durability and aesthetics.

[0015] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0016] As shown in Figures 1-3, this utility model discloses a dress collar, which can also be used for a shirt or blouse. It includes a collar face 1, a collar base 2, and a fabric strip 3. The collar face 1 and collar base 2 are connected by a flat stitch, with a seam spacing of 0.5cm, forming the basic structure of the collar. The resulting collar outline perfectly matches the outline of a V-neck, ensuring a precise fit between the collar and the dress neckline and preventing uneven stress in certain areas. The collar face can also be the neckline itself, and the collar base can be an inner collar patch / lining.

[0017] Fabric strip 3 is made of the same cotton fabric as collar face 1 and collar bottom 2, but different fabrics can also be used. Its length is the same as the length of the V-neck (e.g., 35cm, suitable for the collar size of regular women's V-neck dresses, tops, and shirts), and its width is set to 2cm. The edges of fabric strip 3 are treated with double-stitched overlock seams with a width of 0.3cm to prevent the edges from coming undone. Place fabric strip 3 at the bottom of the V-neck (i.e., the reverse side of collar bottom 2), and align the center line of fabric strip 3 with the seam allowance of the front piece 4 of the dress. Then, sew fabric strip 3 to collar bottom 2 using an overlock seam, or it can be connected by gluing. The stitch spacing is 0.4cm, and the stitches connecting fabric strip 3 and collar bottom 2 should be 6mm apart from the straight seams between collar face 1 and collar bottom 2 to avoid overlap. Measurements showed that the thickness of the collar face 1 was 0.3mm, the thickness of the collar bottom 2 was 0.3mm, and the thickness of the fabric strip 3 was 0.3mm, with a total thickness of 0.9mm. The thickness of the dress, top, and shirt body fabric was 0.5mm. The total thickness of the three did not exceed twice the thickness of the body fabric (0.5mm×2=1mm), ensuring that the collar was light and comfortable.

[0018] At the same time, whether or not the fabric strip is overlocked is optional. When the edge of the fabric strip is overlocked, the overlocking process can fix the fabric fibers at the edge of the fabric strip, preventing fraying or frayed edges after washing or friction, avoiding localized strength reduction due to loose edge fibers, and further improving the durability of the fabric strip and the neatness of the bottom layer of the collar.

[0019] In actual performance testing, tear resistance tests were conducted on the collars of the dress, top, and shirt (referring to GB / T3917.2-2009 "Textiles - Tear Properties of Fabrics - Part 2: Determination of Tear Strength of Trouser-Shaped Specimens (Single Seam)"). The test results showed that the tear strength of the collar was 32N, while the tear strength of the traditional V-neck collar without fabric strips was only 19N, representing a 68.4% improvement in tear resistance. Furthermore, after five standard washes (referring to GB / T 8629-2017 "Textiles - Testing - Household Washing and Drying Procedures"), the "V" shape of the collar showed no significant deformation, and the edge flatness error was less than 1mm. In contrast, the flatness error of the traditional collar reached 3mm after washing, and localized warping occurred.
