FACINGS
These are used to provide a neat finish to the rawedges in a garment and to support the shape of necklines , armholes , collars etc ... When the edge to be faced is a straight line the facing may be cut in one piece with the garment section . Usually facings are applied separately .
There are two main types of facings - shaped facing and bias facing . Shaped facing can be of any width you like but bias facing should not be more than 1/2 " wide . Facings are usually turned to the inside of the garment and will not show when the garment is worn . Sometimes facings are turned to the outside of the garment for decorative effect .
