Lesson 10 : Neckline Finishes

Continuous Bound placket

This opening is used for making front and back neck openings, suitable for children’s dresses, undergarments like saree petticoat, and for sleeve openings where a cuff or band is used. This type of placket opening is not suitable for curved seams and on bulky fabrics. A single straight strip of fabric is used to finish the opening where a part of it forms a binding and the other half is facing. Generally the underlay is bound while overlay is faced.
