Introduction
The Glass V-Neck is a variation of the traditional sharp V-neckline. Instead of angling straight down from the shoulder, the neck drops vertically for 2 inches before tapering diagonally into a sharp point—creating the shape of a glass silhouette.
This guide reveals how to draft this design on canvas paper/buckram for crisp, puckering-free necklines on kurtis or blouses.

Step-by-Step Canvas Drafting
- Fold Canvas Paper: Take a 10 x 10 inch piece of stiff buckram canvas folded in half.
- Mark Top Width: Mark 3 inches along the fold line.
- Mark Vertical Drop: Drop straight down by 2 inches from the top width mark.
- Mark Total Depth: Mark 6.5 inches to 7 inches for the total deep point down the center fold line.
- Connect Points: Connect the 2 inch vertical mark to the deep bottom point with a crisp, angled slant.
- Outer Border: Draw a 0.75 inch outer margin around your drawn neck shape and cut out the canvas strip.
Stitching & Finishing Secret
- Iron to Fabric: Fuse the canvas piece onto a matching lining fabric scrap using a warm iron.
- Center Alignment: Pin the neck patch precisely down the center fold line of your main kameez/blouse front to ensure it doesn’t shift diagonally while stitching.
- Stitch Near the Edge: Sew right along the edge of the canvas (never over it) for clean flipping and sharp corner points!
