HALTER NECK

Different styles of halter neck
Halterneck is a style of strap which holds up women's clothing which features a single strap or material which runs from the front of the garment around the back of the wearer's neck, and which enables most of the wearer's back to be uncovered. The term is derived from the halter, which is placed around an animal's neck.
The halter style is commonly used with swimsuits, which enables the wearer to maximize sun tan exposure on the back and minimize tan lines. The halter style is also used with dresses or shirts, to create a backless dress or top. The neck strap can itself be covered by the wearer's hair, leaving the impression from behind that nothing is holding the dress or shirt up.
If a bra is worn with a halter top, it is generally either strapless or of halterneck construction itself, so as to avoid exposing the back straps of a typical bra.
A halter top is a type of sleeveless shirt similar to a tank top (by the American English definition) but with the straps being tied behind the neck. In another style of the halter top, there is only a narrow strap behind the neck and a narrow strap behind the middle of the back, so that it is mostly backless. This design resembles many bikini tops, although it covers the chest more and may cover some or all of the abdomen at the front.

JEWEL NECKLINE

The jewel, crew and scoop necklines are all round in shape. The Jewel and crew are very similar and almost not easy to differentiate. Some people classify them as same thing and some as different. The write up below was gotten from wisegeek.com. However, I have chosen to see the Jewel neckline as lower in depth than the crew neckline. Also, because of its name "Jewel", most jewel neckline clothes are already embellished at the neckline giving it a jeweled look. A jewel neck is a plain, basic neckline that is rounded and reaches just above the collarbone. The jewel neck was named after its ability to showcase a piece of jewelery such as a  pendant  or brooch against the fabric, so that the eye is drawn upward to the jewelery and the face. Jewel necks are featured on a wide variety of both men’s and women’s garments, including T-shirts, sweaters, and dresses. Jewel necks are also particularly common in workout wear, and often featured on bodysuits, cycling shirts,

BOAT (BATEAU/SABRINA) NECKLINE

Me wearing a Sabrina Neck Ankara Dress designed and sewn by me (Visiwek Couture) A boatneck is a type of neckline in both men and women’s wear. Initially, the neckline, also called the bateau neck/Sabrina, was designed for sailors. The wide slit made it easy to change a shirt quickly, since it slips easily over the head. This can be advantageous when clothing gets wet and needs to be changed in a hurry. The modern boatneck is a popular design especially in women’s clothing. It is a neckline that is cut out from shoulder to shoulder. This presents a straight horizontal opening that usually covers the chest to just below the neck. The front and back are of the same design. Frequently, it simply means a wide slit across the top of a garment that forms the neckline. It does cover from the middle to most of the shoulders, though some are cut lower on the shoulders. The boatneck can be featured on a variety of women’s tops. Knit tops, sweaters, and blouses can all featu
