ABSTRACT:
An edge construction for a garment. The construction includes a garment body provided with a finished lower edge and sleeves suitably attached opposite side of the upper end of the garment body. The body is cut away in the usual manner at its upper extremity to form a neck opening. The upper edge portion of the body portion is folded inwardly to form a first fold. A strip of collarette fabric material is formed into a longitudinally extending second fold therein to form inner and outer layers. The inner and outer layers are disposed on the inner face of the body portion so as to have the second fold lie substantially parallel to the folded edge of the body portion. The lower edge portion of the outer layer is folded inwardly upon itself so as to form a third fold extending substantially parallel to the first and second folds. At least two rows of substantially parallel stitching fix the strip of fabric material to the fabric body portion. Because both the edges of the fabric body and the collarette fabric strip are folded inwardly, no raw edges show. The resulting construction is durable, has a natural tendency to lay flat, and provides an attractive finish in the neck of the garment.
