Abstract

A bottle having a body capable of containing a fluid; a spout fluidly connected to the body; a collar having at least one attachment area, said collar capable of removably securing a cap; a skirt functionally connected to the collar; and a drip concentrator concentrically interposed between the spout and the collar; wherein the bottle is continuous. In one embodiment, the skirt visually engages with the body

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A bottle ( 100 ) comprising:
 a body ( 110 ) capable of containing a fluid;   a spout ( 30 ) fluidly connected to the body ( 110 );   a collar ( 20 ) comprising at least one attachment area ( 22 ), said collar ( 20 ) capable of removably securing a cap;   a skirt ( 40 ) functionally connected to the collar ( 20 ); and   a drip concentrator ( 24 ) concentrically interposed between the spout ( 30 ) and the collar ( 20 );   wherein the bottle ( 100 ) is continuous;   wherein the skirt ( 40 ) comprises a circumferential edge of skirt ( 43 ) having an inner surface of circumferential edge of skirt ( 44 ), wherein at least a portion of the inner surface of circumferential edge of skirt ( 44 ) is longitudinally beyond an outer surface of body ( 110 ) measured orthogonally with respect to a longitudinal center axial plane ( 53 ).   
     
     
         2 . The bottle ( 100 ) of  claim 1 , where the skirt ( 40 ) visually engages with the body. 
     
     
         3 . The bottle ( 100 ) of  claim 1 , wherein the bottle comprises a longitudinal center axial plane ( 53 ), wherein the skirt ( 40 ) further comprises a circumferential edge of skirt ( 43 ), and wherein at least a portion of the circumferential edge of skirt ( 43 ) extends longitudinally beyond the drip concentrator ( 24 ) by 1 mm to 30 mm. 
     
     
         4 . The bottle ( 100 ) of  claim 3 , wherein the entire circumferential edge of skirt ( 43 ) is orthogonal to the longitudinal center axial plane ( 53 ). 
     
     
         5 . The bottle ( 100 ) of  claim 3 , wherein the skirt ( 40 ) comprises a length from 3 mm to 30 mm; and the bottle ( 100 ) further comprising the cap removable secured to the collar ( 20 ), wherein the cap ( 20 ) comprises at least one dosing line; and wherein the bottle ( 100 ) contains a fluid fabric care composition.
