GLOSSARY OF TERMS A helpful guide to fabric, sewing and garment terminology Find keywords in this document (Ctrl/Command+F) www.loveyourclothes.org.uk Fabric terminology Bias Fabric cut on the diagonal grain of a woven fabric. This is where there is most stretch. Fabric cut on the bias grain drapes very well. Grain Direction on woven fabrics (see more information under warp, weft and bias). Sewing patterns have an arrow on them indicating what grain direction the pattern piece should be cut on. Knitted fabric Fabric (such as jersey T-shirt material) made from a continuous length of thread that is knitted to form a piece of fabric. It generally has more stretch than woven fabrics of same fibre composition. Nap On fabrics such as velvet and corduroy there is a raised surface (or pile). Nap is the direction that the pile should face to ensure consistency in the finished garment. When you run your hand along the fabric the nap feels smooth in one direction and rougher in the other. When cutting out a garment, care should be taken to keep the nap on garment pieces going in the same direction. Right side The side of the fabric with the design on (print, embroidery, etc.), (or face) is meant to be on the outside of the garment. Selvedge The firm finished edges of a woven piece of fabric produced during manufacture that prevents it from unravelling. Warp The threads on woven fabric that run along the length of the (or straight grain) fabric (top to bottom), parallel to the selvedge – also known as length or straight grain. Weft The threads on a woven fabric that go across the width of a (or cross grain) fabric between the selvedge edges – also known as cross grain. Wrong side The side of the fabric meant to be inside a garment. 2 Fabric finishes Anti-pilling finish Enzymes or chemicals are used in the fabric production to remove small fibres from the surface of cotton garments. This helps to prevent the garment from pilling and it can also help extend the life of a garment. Non-iron finish Items such as cotton shirts are soaked in resin containing very low levels of formaldehyde. They gain added strength and increased resistance to wrinkling. Waterproof finish A durable water repellent finish is used on items such as rain coats to make them repel rain. Conventional durable water repellents are based on a chemical group called Perfluorinated Chemicals (PFCs) which make the products water repellent, as well as oil and stain-proof. However, PFCs do not easily breakdown in the environment and some chemicals within the group have been found to be carcinogenic. More environmentally friendly fluorocarbon free finishes are now available for manufacturers to use. TOP TIP Additional help guides are available wherever you see this icon. 3 Garment terminology Armhole Space at the top of the arm/shoulder area on a garment to allow the arm to pass through. If there is a sleeve on the garment, the top of it is attached to the armhole. Collar The part around the neck of a shirt, blouse, jacket, coat, etc. that either stands upright or lays flat over the shoulder area. Cuff The bottom part of a sleeve, usually just above the wrist, where the material of the sleeve is turned back and neatened or a separate band is added to reinforce the sleeve edge. Dart A v-shaped adjustment in a garment (usually a fold stitched on the inside of a garment) made to shape the fabric around body contours such as the bust and waist. Epaulette An ornamental shoulder decoration or tab placed to decorate the shoulder of a garment such as a jacket - often used in military style clothing. Facing A piece of reinforced (interfaced) fabric used in sewing to finish the raw edges and strengthen or stiffen a garment in areas such as the collar or lapels. Fly An opening in a garment such as trousers that is secured with a zip or buttons, and usually covered by a flap. Hem The folded edge of the bottom of a garment e.g. a skirt, trousers or coat that is sewn in place to stop the edge fraying and to make the garment hang well. Lapels The parts on each side of the front of a coat or jacket immediately below the collar which is folded back on either side of the front opening. Lining A finely woven slippery fabric usually cut in the same basic shape as the main body pieces of a garment. For example, a woollen jacket can be lined with a thin silk or polyester lining fabric. The lining is used to finish the inside of a garment, to hide the seam construction, to allow for ease of putting a garment on/taking it off and to strengthen the garment construction. Piping A length of cord encased in a strip of bias cut fabric, often used for decorative edging or inserts on garments such as ladies evening wear or to edge soft furnishings. Placket An opening or slit in a garment that is usually reinforced with a double layer of fabric enclosing the raw edges, e.g. a shirt sleeve placket. Pleat A fold in fabric that is either inverted or folded outward, that is sewn in on the top edge (e.g. in a skirt waistband). Pleats ease the fit of a garment. 4 Pocket A small bag sewn in to the side seams of clothing such as trousers, used for holding small objects. A patch pocket can also be made by sewing a flat piece of fabric on to a garment on three sides, e.g. the back pockets on jeans. Sleeve The sections of a garment that cover the arms: • From the shoulder to wrist for long sleeves; • From the shoulder to just below elbow for three- quarter sleeves; and • From the shoulder to approximately half way between shoulder and elbow for short sleeves. Sleeve head The top part of the sleeve that is sewn into the shoulder seam on the outside of the arm. Waistband A reinforced strip of fabric that fits around the waist of a garment such as a skirt or a pair of trousers. It holds up sections of a garment such as the trouser leg. Yoke A fitted area of a garment that is usually around the neck and shoulders, or around the hips. It is generally made from a double layer of fabric. A yoke provides support for parts of the garment such as a gathered skirt or the body of a shirt. General terminology Biodegradable An item made of materials that will decompose naturally and thereby avoid pollution. Refashion To fashion a garment again to create a new style. Upcycle To reuse discarded objects or materials to create a product of higher quality or value than the original. 5 Sewing terminology Easing A way of adding ease into a garment, used in curved areas such as the sleeve head or the bust. This is done by sewing a longer piece of fabric to fit into a smaller piece without gathers or puckers. A line of long straight stitches is machine sewn within the seam allowance on the longer piece of fabric (e.g. a sleeve head). The thread ends are pulled up slightly, which results in the fabric edge length decreasing so that it will fit onto a shorter length of fabric (e.g. an armhole). On a woollen garment easing can also be done with steam (to shrink the wool slightly). Edge stitch A line of straight stitches sewn close to a seam or folded edge to help keep it in place and also to provide decoration, e.g. around a collar or cuff edge. Flat felled seam This is the strongest seam – it won’t fray as raw edges are concealed. It is often used on jeans. A standard seam is sewn (right sides together) with a 1.5cm seam allowance. Half of the seam allowance is cut off on one side of the seam only. The wider side of the seam allowance is brought over and around the cut edge and pressed towards the garment, so the raw edges are concealed. A line of stitching is done as close to this folded edge as possible to hold the seam in place. A third line of stitching is then done through all layers just inside the original seam. Two lines of stitching will show on the right side of garment and three lines of stitching on the wrong side of the garment. French seam A completely enclosed seam. Often used for lightweight fabrics that fray easily, such as silk. The fabric is placed wrong sides together and a line of stitches is sewn close to the edge of the seam. The fabric is then turned right sides together and a second seam is sewn. This encloses all of the raw edges. This seam construction is not suitable for curved seams. Gathering A way of sewing a long length of fabric to fit onto a shorter length of fabric, e.g. on a gathered skirt. To gather a seam, two parallel lines of long straight stitches are sewn within the seam allowance approximately 0.5cm apart. Long tails of thread are left at each end of the lines and these are pulled up to gather the fabric to the desired length. Alternatively, on some designs elastic can be threaded through a seam or attached to fabric to create gathers. Seam When two pieces of fabric are sewn together to join them, e.g.

    Know Your Body Know Your Style

    KNOW YOUR BODY KNOW YOUR STYLE Our bodies are classified according to certain specific types of silhouettes. You will learn about your body type, the clothes that favor each silhouette and those that should definitely be avoided. Your body shape may have traits of two types of silhouettes. Stand in front of a full-length mirror in your underwear and carefully study your body shape. Regardless of whether you are slim or plump, your body will tend to predominantly conform to one of the body types described below. Knowing your silhouette, you will be able to know what type of outfits that will make you look great, and which ones you should avoid as they throw the shape of your body off balance. 2020 Playfication Learning, LLC © PagePage 1 of 1 8 of 8 HOURGLASS SHAPE This type of female figure is typically considered the perfect figure because it is the most proportionate. It is the most versatile body shape and practically everything that women with this figure wear looks good on them. However, you should avoid falling into exaggerations that unbalance your body. You have an hourglass figure, when your shoulders and hips measure the same, and your waist is narrower. You have a balanced and symmetrical body. Clothes that lengthen your body will accentuate your figure and make you look great. What to wear: 1. Wrap dresses and “A” shaped skirts 2. Dresses with a defined waist and knee-length skirts highlighting your curves 3. Solid colors 4. Two-piece dresses 5. Shirt dresses with a waist belt 6.
  • Business Professional Dress Code

    Business Professional Dress Code

    Business Professional Dress Code The way you dress can play a big role in your professional career. Part of the culture of a company is the dress code of its employees. Some companies prefer a business casual approach, while other companies require a business professional dress code. BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL ATTIRE FOR MEN Men should wear business suits if possible; however, blazers can be worn with dress slacks or nice khaki pants. Wearing a tie is a requirement for men in a business professional dress code. Sweaters worn with a shirt and tie are an option as well. BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL ATTIRE FOR WOMEN Women should wear business suits or skirt-and-blouse combinations. Women adhering to the business professional dress code can wear slacks, shirts and other formal combinations. Women dressing for a business professional dress code should try to be conservative. Revealing clothing should be avoided, and body art should be covered. Jewelry should be conservative and tasteful. COLORS AND FOOTWEAR When choosing color schemes for your business professional wardrobe, it's advisable to stay conservative. Wear "power" colors such as black, navy, dark gray and earth tones. Avoid bright colors that attract attention. Men should wear dark‐colored dress shoes. Women can wear heels or flats. Women should avoid open‐toe shoes and strapless shoes that expose the heel of the foot. GOOD HYGIENE Always practice good hygiene. For men adhering to a business professional dress code, this means good grooming habits. Facial hair should be either shaved off or well groomed. Clothing should be neat and always pressed.

  • Glossary of Sewing Terms

    Glossary of Sewing Terms

    Glossary of Sewing Terms Judith Christensen Professional Patternmaker ClothingPatterns101 Why Do You Need to Know Sewing Terms? There are quite a few sewing terms that you’ll need to know to be able to properly follow pattern instructions. If you’ve been sewing for a long time, you’ll probably know many of these terms – or at least, you know the technique, but might not know what it’s called. You’ll run across terms like “shirring”, “ease”, and “blousing”, and will need to be able to identify center front and the right side of the fabric. This brief glossary of sewing terms is designed to help you navigate your pattern, whether it’s one you purchased at a fabric store or downloaded from an online designer. You’ll find links within the glossary to “how-to” videos or more information at ClothingPatterns101.com Don’t worry – there’s no homework and no test! Just keep this glossary handy for reference when you need it! 2 A – Appliqué – A method of surface decoration made by cutting a decorative shape from fabric and stitching it to the surface of the piece being decorated. The stitching can be by hand (blanket stitch) or machine (zigzag or a decorative stitch). Armhole – The portion of the garment through which the arm extends, or a sleeve is sewn. Armholes come in many shapes and configurations, and can be an interesting part of a design. B - Backtack or backstitch – Stitches used at the beginning and end of a seam to secure the threads. To backstitch, stitch 2 or 3 stitches forward, then 2 or 3 stitches in reverse; then proceed to stitch the seam and repeat the backstitch at the end of the seam.

    Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907)

    Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907) BuYun Chen Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 BuYun Chen All rights reserved ABSTRACT Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907) BuYun Chen During the Tang dynasty, an increased capacity for change created a new value system predicated on the accumulation of wealth and the obsolescence of things that is best understood as fashion. Increased wealth among Tang elites was paralleled by a greater investment in clothes, which imbued clothes with new meaning. Intellectuals, who viewed heightened commercial activity and social mobility as symptomatic of an unstable society, found such profound changes in the vestimentary landscape unsettling. For them, a range of troubling developments, including crisis in the central government, deep suspicion of the newly empowered military and professional class, and anxiety about waste and obsolescence were all subsumed under the trope of fashionable dressing. The clamor of these intellectuals about the widespread desire to be “current” reveals the significant space fashion inhabited in the empire – a space that was repeatedly gendered female. This dissertation considers fashion as a system of social practices that is governed by material relations – a system that is also embroiled in the politics of the gendered self and the body. I demonstrate that this notion of fashion is the best way to understand the process through which competition for status and self-identification among elites gradually broke away from the imperial court and its system of official ranks.
