| 3. The desired grain line is maintained. |

UNDERLININGS - An underlining is an appropriate fabric cut to duplicate
a garment section, applied to the wrong side of the fashion fabric and
handled as one during the construction of the garment. The primary purpose
of underlining is to give additional strength, support, and durability to the
outer fabric. It may be used to change the draping quality of the garment
fabric, or to lend opacity to sheer or lightweight fabrics, or to prevent
wrinkling. Loosely woven outer fabrics may be underlined to prevent
stretching or sagging. |
| |
1. The fashion fabric and the underlining fabric relate well - the garment
is neither over - supported nor under-supported for the desired design
effect. |
2. The fashion fabric and the underlining fabric are compatible as to
color, care requirements, stretch, quality, and use. |
3. When on the figure, the two layers of fabric fit smoothly and evenly,
with no pulls or puckers. |
4. The underlining is on the same grain as the garment fabric unless the
design or the fabrics warrant bias. |
| |
INTERFACINGS - An interfacing is a special type of fabric applied
directly to the facing or to the fashion fabric of a garment to give it body and
shape. |
| |
1. The interfacing complements and reinforces the fashion fabric without
overpowering it. |
2. Care requirements of the interfacing are compatible with those of the
garment fabric. |
| 3. Interfacings have been properly preshrunk. |
| 4. Interfaced seams and darts are treated to reduce bulk. |
5. The interfacing does not show through to the right side of the
garment.
