The cowl drape is a lovely effect that can be created with a scarf or half-folded kerchief around the neck.  Designers have played with the cowl drape effects on many garments not necessarily centered around the neck, but anywhere on the garment including sleeves, waistline and back opening.  Unfortunately, the cowl necklines of today are too low hanging for it be modestly tasteful.  But not anymore, as we have My Sloper, Pattern Making Software for Modest Apparel.

Starting Version 1.71, you can create a very modest cowl neckline on your blouses and dresses.
