The bias cut refers to cutting fabric at a 45-degree angle to its weave, which allows garments to drape more naturally over body curves, enhancing comfort and movement.
Tailor's chalk is essential for marking fabrics accurately, providing reference points for cutting, sewing, and other modifications in fashion design.
A zigzag stitch is suitable for preventing fraying on lightweight fabrics because it encapsulates the raw edges, minimizing wear on delicate materials.
Stay-stitching helps in maintaining the fabric's shape and prevents unintended stretching of curves in areas like necklines and armholes during garment construction.
Jersey is a knit fabric known for its flexibility and stretch, making it ideal for garments that fit closely to the body, such as t-shirts and dresses.
A tuck pleat involves stitching along the upper section, creating a tailored appearance that's often used in blouses and skirts for a polished look.
Interfacing provides stiffness and reinforcement to areas like collars, cuffs, and buttonholes in garments, enhancing their structure and durability.
Darts are sewn folds that shape fabric to fit the body's contours, typically used at the bust, waist, or hip areas for a tailored fit.
The waist circumference is essential for designing skirts or trousers, ensuring they fit snugly and comfortably on the body.
A muslin is a trial version of a garment, used to test fit and design before cutting the actual fabric, saving time and resources.
