Shaping

All garments contain shaping methods (darts or dart equivalents) that control the way the garment fits the contours of the body -The methods used to shape the garment, the location and the amount of added shaping affect the garment's fit and style

Casings

Also an edge finish; fold over edges or applied strips that hide elastic or drawstring

Application of elastic

Applied directly to garments using a 300 lockstitch or 500 overedge stitch

Knitted elastic

Similar with braided but lighter weight and inexpensive

Single pointed darts

Start from any seam and occur at any angle so long as it points towards the fullest part of its assigned body curve

Dart equivalents

Substitute for darts by incorporating shape into the garment in a variety of ways: 1) Shaped seams 2) Added fullness (gathers, pleats, tucks, gores, godets) 3) Dart substitutes (gathers, shirring, smocking, elastic, drawstrings)

Gathers/shirring
