| PRESSING |
| 1. The garment surface is smooth and free from wrinkles. |
| 2. The original appearance of the fabric has been maintained. It is: |
| - free from over pressing or iron imprints |
| - free from shine, scorching or melting |
| - free from flattened nap or pile |
- free from imprints of construction details on the face of the
garment |
| - free from stretching or shrinking |
| - free from water or mineral spots |
3. Seams and darts are pressed smoothly on the stitching line; fabric
does not fold over the stitching line or look bubbled. |
4. Using shaped pads or boards, the shaping is pressed in where the
garment will fit over body curves. |

| SECTION II: |
| QUALITY STANDARDS FOR FIT OF A CUSTOM |
| GARMENT |
| |
This section recognizes and identifies the standards for quality fit in custom
clothing that give a garment a finished, professional look. This section also
encompasses the body of knowledge for pattern manipulation and alteration.
Knowledge of these techniques is needed when preparing a custom pattern
and is reflected in the custom fit of a garment. Because these techniques are
incorporated in a finished garment, it is not necessary to present separate
standards for pattern manipulation and a1teration. |
| |
The following list is a guide to producing an objective evaluation of fit in
professionally-made custom clothing. The guide is based upon a classic
fitted dress with darts and set-in sleeves, and a slim cut skirt (see fig. A).
The pant and skirt are also a classic cut with a waistband, darts, and a slim
silhouette (see fig. B and C). All garments are cut to fit within the minimum
ease allowance provided on the Minimum Ease Comparison Chart (compiled
by the Standards and Practices Commit tee).
