WAISTLINE EDGE TREATMENTS - Waistline edge treatments are used
on garments that end and are finished at the natural or modified waistline
and provide definition for the waist. |
| |
Waistbands - A waistband is an applied piece of fabric that is sewn to the
garment at the fashion waistline. |
| |
| 1. The waistband is cut on the appropriate grain. |
| 2. The garment is not stretched when the waistband is applied. |
| 3. The application seam is smooth and even. |
| 4. The waistband is smooth and flat. |
5. Sufficient interfacing is used to prevent the waistband from distorting
or rolling over on itself. |
| 6. Facings of faced waistbands are constructed of appropriate material. |
7. Both the overlap and the under lap are neatly finished and the comers
are squared, unless otherwise designed. |
8. The width of the waistband is even along its entire circumference,
unless otherwise designed. |
9. Belt loops or thread carriers are identical in construction and size,
evenly spaced, and sufficient in number to keep a belt in place. |
10. A waistband curtain, if used, is inconspicuously attached to the
garment. |
11. Waistline seams and top edges are matched in waistbands that are
seamed at the center back. |
| 12. Any topstitching is even, straight, and of an appropriate stitch length. |
| |
Waistline Facings - See Neckline Treatments (Facings - shaped,
excepting the reference to the three inch width). |
| |
| 1. The facing is cut so that its grain lines match the garment's grain lines. |
| 2. Sufficient interfacing is used to prevent the waist from stretching. |
3. The facing lies flat and smooth against the garment and is secured in
place on the wrong side with under stitching and/or tacking. |
| 4. No seam wells are evident at any point on the garment. |
5. The raw edges of the facing are finished appropriately to the garment's
design, fabric, and quality. |
6. At any opening(s) in the garment, the facing is neat, flat, and
concealed.
