inner band is treated as a shaped facing with its inner edge attached all
around. |
1. The band is cut with its grain positions identical to those of the
garment or on the bias, according to design. |
| 2. The band lies flat and fits the garment smoothly. |
| 3. All construction points of the band and the garment are matched. |
| 4. The inside of the band is neatly finished with no raw edges. |
| 5. The band is appropriately interfaced. |
| 6. The seam ditch is not visible at the upper edge of the band. |
| 7. The width of the band is even, unless otherwise designed. |
| |
Rib-stretch Bands - The piece to be set into the garment is cut double the
desired width on the crosswise grain of a knitted stretch fabric. It is then
folded in half with both raw edges joined to the garment simultaneously. |
| |
| 1. The width of the band is even, unless otherwise designed. |
| 2. The band is of the correct length for the neckline. |
| 3. The neckband seam allowance, where joined to itself, is not visible. |
| 4. The seam joining the band to the garment is neatly finished. |
| |
Collars - A collar is a single or double layer of fabric attached to the
neckline. It may stand, drape over, or both stand and drape over the natural
neckline, depending on style variations. |
| |
| 1. The collar is interfaced appropriately. |
2. The outer edges of the collar are smooth and even. The under collar is
not visible, unless otherwise designed. |
| 3. Enclosed seams have been trimmed and graded to reduce bulk.
|
4. The size and shape of the collar and its placement on the garment is
consistent from one end to the other, except for intentional design
variations. |
5. The collar fits the neck edge to which it is sewn, without stretching or
gathering. |
6. The collar assumes the proper position on the garment, as intended by
the designer. For example, a flat collar lies flat against the garment,
instead of rolling up. |
7. All raw edges are carefully concealed during the collar application so
that they are not visible when the garment is worn.
