3. The sleeve-to-bodice seams are smooth and flat with no puckers,
pleats, or ripples. |

SLEEVE FINISHES - The treatment of the lower sleeve edge is commonly
referred to as the sleeve finish. |
| |
Sleeve Plackets - A placket is a finished opening that is used at the lower
edge of the sleeve in order to allow the sleeve to expand over the hand, yet
still maintain a comfortable fit at the wrist. |
| |
| 1. Any points or corners are stitched securely with no fraying or holes. |
2. The placket is completely smooth with no gathers or ripples. The
pleats of the pleated placket are evenly folded and smooth. |
| 3. The two sides of the placket are even in length. |
4. If the placket overlaps, the overlap is on the portion of the sleeve
closest to the center, lapping toward the outside of the arm. |
5. Portions of the placket do not roll outward to the right side of the
sleeve. |
| 6. Tailored placket points are sharp and even. |
| |
Cuffs - A cuff is constructed of a fabric band that finishes and/or decorates
the lower edge of the sleeve. A cuff is intentionally visible in the completed
sleeve. |
| |
1. The cuff is interfaced for body and support. A rib stretch cuff is an
exception. |
2. The ends of open band cuffs are identical in size and shape and are
finished neatly. |
| 3. The edge of the cuff is smooth and flat with no seam ditches showing. |
| 4. Any topstitching is even, straight, and in an appropriate stitch length. |
5. The seam allowance on a closed cuff is not visible where it joins
itself. |
6. The inside of the cuff/sleeve seam is enclosed appropriately,
according to garment design, fabric, and quality.
