Create a Formula for the Front Collar Width

The front collar width is calculated as the sum of the lengths of the following segments:

As the lengths of the diagonal segments only are approximations to the lengths of the curves, they are multiplied additionally by a correction factor.

[Collar Width] = x*2*Correction factor+[Cast-off Width at Front Neck]

The value of the correction factor is experience-based and is 1.1.
[Collar Width] = x*2*1.1+[Cast-off Width at Front Neck]
