Tailoring Structure
Tailoring Structure is the way fabric is shaped and supported to create a certain look or fit in clothing. In apparel design, using hidden layers like horsehair canvas or fusible interfacing inside jackets and coats helps keep collars, lapels, and shoulders crisp and smooth. Designers sometimes use special stitching methods called pad stitching to hold these layers in place, which lets the garment keep its shape over time. The way seams are pressed and the order of assembly can change how the finished piece looks and moves, making the structure a key part of both style and comfort.
