This type of collar is called a detachable collar. What that means is that it is a separate entity in itself from the shirt. It becomes one piece when you put it on. It's kind of like those sunglasses that flip up and then flip down. This is going to be something that, let's say you're creating a collection and you're doing your designs to show somebody as far as your fashion designs. You're not going to show what I have here. You're not going to show the arrows. I have the arrows to show that this piece was removed from this piece. In an actual collection format, you would show the collar as being like this on a shirt. But you would make note in your technical specification drawings, in your flats which gets sent to your manufacturer, you would note that this piece is separate. This piece attaches to this piece. So you would have to draw a flat for this and a flat for that. And indicate to someone who can only look at a drawing and read it like that from a picture that there are two parts.
