That's what women used to do. My mother used to starch her white shirts, too.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-make-a-popped-collar-stay-up#post-1867787 Wed, 13 Dec 2017 13:56:25 +0000 rachylou 1867787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zaeobi this is a very helpful bit of info! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-make-a-popped-collar-stay-up#post-1867781 Wed, 13 Dec 2017 13:37:54 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1867781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>3style, isn’t the metallic thread heavier than what’s on the other side? That would pull the collar down. If the glimmer doesn’t shine out from there often enough on its own (personally, i like elements that change a little when I move around), then you probably need something like Zaeobi’s tip, sort of the opposite of traditional collar stays. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-make-a-popped-collar-stay-up#post-1867722 Wed, 13 Dec 2017 04:20:02 +0000 Carla 1867722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Angie said. The collar of my BR and LE shirts stay nicely popped, but no matter how much starch I use on my AT shirt, the collar will not stay up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-make-a-popped-collar-stay-up#post-1867715 Wed, 13 Dec 2017 03:23:06 +0000 Zaeobi 1867715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know if this will help you but, there's a trick used for the Turkish hijab style to keep the front edge rounded (rather than flopping down). You slip this curved 'streamliner/shaper/' in before folding the headscarf, to give it it's curved, stiff edge. It's essentially a plastic facing, but in the links below you'll see that you can also use hairspray (depending on the fabric of your top). </p> <p>Hope you find these links useful!<br /> <a href="https://muhajabat.wordpress.com/2011/09/11/that-plastic-thinga-majigger-aka-the-hijab-arc/amp/" rel="nofollow">https://muhajabat.wordpress.co.....b-arc/amp/</a><br /> <a href="http://shop.alsharifa.com/a-pair-of-hijab-streamliners-clear-plastic/" rel="nofollow">http://shop.alsharifa.com/a-pa.....r-plastic/</a><br /> <a href="https://www.hijabstoreonline.com/products/copy-of-lilac-floral-print-chiffon-hijab" rel="nofollow">https://www.hijabstoreonline.c.....ffon-hijab</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-make-a-popped-collar-stay-up#post-1867688 Wed, 13 Dec 2017 01:34:50 +0000 3style 1867688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a favorite blazer which is meant to have a popped collar option with metallic thread on the underside that is visible when it is popped up. The blazer is slightly softened up after a few cleanings. The collar it is no longer staying up. I'm scared to iron metallic thread. Has anyone had success with that? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-make-a-popped-collar-stay-up#post-1867550 Tue, 12 Dec 2017 16:42:33 +0000 Angie 1867550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I pop all my collars. It's a fabric thing. Some pop better than others due to stiffer fabric. JAileen's tip is effective - but you'll need to iron the collar.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-make-a-popped-collar-stay-up#post-1867534 Tue, 12 Dec 2017 16:00:29 +0000 Anonymous 1867534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here we go again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-make-a-popped-collar-stay-up#post-1867507 Tue, 12 Dec 2017 15:15:03 +0000 JAileen 1867507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Spray starch will make a collar firmer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-make-a-popped-collar-stay-up#post-1867444 Tue, 12 Dec 2017 11:12:24 +0000 yearningmaple 1867444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love a popped collar but they never stay up nor are as firm as I would like. Are there any tricks to achieve this? (P.S. Ironing is not an option :)) </p>
