Abstract: Three-dimensional neckties have an outer layer with decorative ensembles attached to the outer layer, the decorative ensembles including additional decorative fabric pieces and other articles or trim pieces, and border stitching or embroidery stitching. The decorative fabric pieces of the decorative ensemble are attached to the outer layer only at certain points or areas so that at least a portion of the additional pieces are loosely positioned over the outer layer to accentuate the three-dimensional appearance of the necktie. In some embodiments, the decorative fabric pieces are attached to the outer layer by border stitching around an entire perimeter of the decorative fabric pieces, leaving the remainder loosely positioned over the outer layer. Trim pieces may include lace, string, hardware or other non-fabric items which are attached to the outer layer and which can be positioned over the decorative fabric pieces on the outer layer.
