should be reversed . Just inside the outer finished edge of the

facing . This is to prevent the raw edges of the shoulder seam

from showing at the neckline . Unlike inside facing decorative

facings are usually made with scallopes points or other designs

along the edge . Bias facings can aiso be applied right side of the

with this facing . The decorative effect has to be obtained by the

use of different combinations of colours or prints or checks darts etc ...
