Edge Finishes

Facings • A facing's primary purpose is: – to cover raw edges at: • the basic and cutout necklines, • sleeveless armholes, and cutout armholes. • May also contribute to “hanger appeal” – Consider how the back neck facing will look on a hanger when viewed through the front neck opening.

Select the Correct Facing to Fit the Needs of the Design • Combined facing: – All-in-one facing for neck and armhole. • Separate facings: – Individual facings for neck and armholes. • Fold-back facing: – A facing that is all-in-one with the garment and not stitched to it. – Applicable ONLY to straight edges

Interfacing • Lightweight fabric • applied to the underside of the fabric • for support and stability • Usually applied to – – – Facings Collars Cuffs Vents Lapels Waistbands • Woven, knit, or nonwoven • Fusible or sewn-in • Not to be confused with: – Underlining • Backing the entire fashion fabric to prevent transparency or support loose-weave fabrics – Interlining • Insulating fabric used throughout inside of garment – Lining • Finishing layer that covers the inside construction of the garment

Labeling Color = Material Code • Each pattern should be drafted and labeled in the color corresponding to the material it is to be cut from: – – Pencil/Black = Self Red= Interfacing Green=Lining Purple = Combination
