Apply Finishing Touches on
2 Ladies’ Blouse

What is It

Types of Hemming applied in Ladies’ Blouse

What is Hemming?

A hem is the finished edge of a garment, sewn so that the fabric has a clean end and doesn't
unravel. This makes the garment more durable, and the hem gives the piece a sleek, store-
bought finish.

Main Types of Hems

1. Double Fold Hem

This is one of the most commonly used hems in

the majority of sewing patterns. It is easy to do
and gives a nice professional finish on most
items. A double folded hem is best for straight
hems as curved hems tend to wrinkle and pucker

https://blog.treasurie.com/how-to-sew-a-hem-5-
eays

2. Narrow Rolled Hem

A narrow rolled hem is typically used for

lightweight fabrics, particularly on blouses. It
is also great for hemming curved edges such
as those found on circular skirts. Although
the method is very similar to the double
folded hem, the hem is much narrower.
https://blog.treasurie.com/how-to-sew-a-hem-5-
eays

3. Bias Tape Hem

Using bias tape for a hem is great for thick

fabrics where creating a rolled hem or double
hem would be too bulky. This photo shows the
wrong side of the hem. On the right side, you just
see a single line of stitches.

https://blog.treasurie.com/how-to-sew-a-hem-5-
eays

4. Blind Hem

A blind hem is invisible or almost invisible from

the right side of the fabric. You often see it on
the bottom of slacks or skirts and it is normally
used for wider straight hems.

https://blog.treasurie.com/how-to-sew-a-hem-5-
eays

5. Overlocked Hem

A popular way how to sew a hem is using a

combination of your serger and regular
machine. You will see this type of hems in many
store-bought clothing items. An overlocked hem
is great for most fabrics and particularly bulky or
hard to press fabrics.
https://blog.treasurie.com/how-to-sew-a-hem-5-
eays

6. Knit hems

Knit hems are created completely differently to

woven hems since the fabric does not fray and
the hems need to retain their stretch so the
stitches don’t break. You can create
professional-looking knit hems with a simple zig-
zag stitch and some hemming tape.
https://blog.treasurie.com/how-to-sew-a-hem-5-
eays

9
7. Decorative Hems

Hems can be used to add interest to an

otherwise simple garment these are achieved
by adding lace trim, ric-rac or even pom-pom
trim to the edge of your clothing. Another idea is
to use a contrast colored bias tape which shows
on the outside. https://blog.treasurie.com/how-to-sew-a-hem-5-
eays

8. Frayed Hem

Frayed hems are not neatly constructed hems

and are best suited to open weave heavier
fabrics and particularly denim.

http://sophiemilner.co.uk/2016/02/diy-frayed-hem-

Types of Fasteners used in Ladies’ Blouse

What are Fasteners?

Fasteners are the items which are used to close a garment opening. They are decorative as
well as functional. Care should be taken while selecting a fastener as they must be rust free
and withstand laundering. They can be selected to match the color, design and texture of the
garment. Decorative fasteners are sewn to add beauty to the garment.

Types of Fasteners

1. Flat buttons

These type of buttons lie flat against the fabric

and generally have two or four holes in the
center that the needle and thread are passed
through. These are easy to sew on, either by
hand or by machine, and come in a huge
variety of materials, from plastic and wood, to
metal, https://www.amazon.ca/Assorted-Buttons-Clothes-

10
2. Snap Buttons

Press buttons has two sections: a stud and a

socket. The stud is attached on the wrong side
of the overlap and the socket comes over its
impression on the underside of the placket.
The press but-tons have four holes into which
button-hole stitches are made to hold them
firmly to the garment. https://www.amazon.com/ROSENICE-Buttons-

3. Shank Buttons

The shank of a shank button is like a stem,

with the button the flower on top. Shanking a
button is only possible by hand. They cannot
be machined on.

http://lyanwood.com/nickel-silver-domed-metal-shank-
buttons-10mm-3-8-inch/

4. Cloth Buttons

Cloth buttons are also shanked, having no

visible holes to sew through. They can be flat
or rounded and are covered with fabric, either
solid in colour or with a matching or contrasting
printed fabric.

https://www. aliexpress.com/item/32825725404.html

5. Hook and Eye

Hook and Eye loops are circular in shape

generally used in plackets and are made out
of metals. Hooks and eyes are used mostly in
close fitting garments like blouse. Hooks are
metals with curved structure at the top with two
parallel lines and finished with two circles at
https://www.amazon.ca/Bememo-Closures-Sewing-
the bottom. Clothing-Silver/dp/B0732PJQND

11
6. Toggles

Toggles are buttons in their own right, long and

skinny, with a hole for attaching them to fabric.
Sometimes the toggle edges are rounded, and
sometimes not. They are fed through a loop
rather than a button hole.

https://jiahuatrade.en.made-in china.com/product/

7. Invisible Zippers

An invisible zipper is a zipper that is hidden

within a seam. The only part that is seen is a
slender zipper pull at the top. An invisible zipper
is sewn in a different manner than other visible
zippers.

https://www.thecreativecurator.com/clothes-

8. Buckles

Buckle fastenings are used as contemporary

fastenings on fashion items. They are also no
longer restricted to only being made of metal.
Buckle fastenings have been made from many
other materials through the years including
wood, pearl, plastics and glass.
https://www.amazon.in/Elastic-Waistband-Buckle-Up-
Collocation-Accessories/dp/B07S8WXFKJ

9. Velcro

Using two strips, one of nylon hooks and one of

nylon loops, these strips are stitched into place.
When pressed together they stick and need to
be ‘ripped’ apart.

https://www.saga.co.uk/magazine/health-
wellbeing/wellbeing/adaptive-clothing

12
10. Frogging

Frogging fastening is a braided loop fastening

seen mostly on the fronts of garments.
Designed more as a decorative fasteners for
clothes, frogging is essentially shaped fabric
tubes and the ‘frog’ part is the ‘button’ that goes
through the frogging loop.
https://www.amazon.com/LYRACCES-Fasteners-
Chinese-Closure-Cheongsam/dp/B00XOHP6LY

11. Grommets

Grommets are plastic or metal rings, used to

reinforce holes in the fabric you’re using.
Ribbon, lace or cord can then be passed
through, lacing the two sides together, just like
in a corset. The grommet hole is called an eye.
http://surf.hr/26756/Fixing-Tools-Leather-100PCS-
Color-Mix-Tiny-15225mm-Grommets/

12. Brooches

Brooches are primarily intended nowadays as

a decorative closure, utilizing a catch and a
pin, which you fasten to cloth, like a safety pin.
Normally embellished or made of metal, they
can add a nice touch as clothes fastenings if
used in the right way https://www.pinterest.com/pin/191754896607807978

Pressing Techniques for Ladies’ Blouse

Some things to remember when you press garments:

• The light touch. Too much pressure can cause shine and over pressing. Let the
weight of the iron do it for you. Not only is it effortless, it’s effective. The only
exceptions are fusing interfacing or using a clapper, both of which require pressure.

13
 • Cooling. After the cloth is pressed, don’t move until it has cooled. While still warm,
movement puts all those crinkles back, and you have to go back to the ironing board.
It pays to press ahead and hang your warm garment.

• Pressing as basting. Basting, is a drag. Whenever it is possible, press the hems, edges
and place rather than pinning or basting.

• Pins. Never press with pins on, it leaves a permanent mark. Plastic pins can melt on
to your fabric.

• Markings. Take care removing any markings, whether they’re made of chalk or
markers. Heat has a tendency to cook the marks into the fabric, making them
impossible to ever get off. The same applies to stains. Never iron clothes with stain.

• Zippers. Never press on zipper coils – they melt! Stay away from hooks and eyes and
other plastic pieces.

Edges of Facings, Collars, and Cuffs

1. Press seams in the direction in which they are stitched.

2. Grade the seam allowances and turn section of garment right side out. Roll seam slightly
to the wrong side, basting around the edge with fine thread. Press lightly to prevent thread
from marking garment. Remove basting and press more firmly.

Gathers

Press gathers toward the gathering line by sliding the iron into the gathers and lifting it or
sliding it straight back. Do not move the iron sideways or press across gathers or press beyond
the seam line from the plain side when it is joined to a gathered side. The pressing of gathers
may be made easier by lifting the gathered edge from the board as you press.

Body of Sleeves

Use a sleeve board and pressing mitt for easier pressing of sleeves. Place the sleeve with
wrong side out over the sleeve board with the lower edge of the sleeve at small end of the
board.

1. Press underarm seam allowance open.

2. Press from the armhole to the lower edge of the sleeve.

Sleeve Cap

Gathers in the sleeve cap may shrunk out before setting in the sleeve. Place wrong side of
sleeve cap up over small pressing hem or use rounded end of sleeve board. Use a steam iron
or a sponge in pressing cloth, press from seam edges to the stitching line.

14
Armhole Seam
1. Place the armhole over the edge of the sleeve board.
2. Press the seam allowances of the sleeve and garment together extending away from the
garment. Press only 2” to 3” at a time.
3. Continue around the armhole, holding seam line in an inward curved position to avoid
stretching.
4. Turn the seam allowances on the upper half of the armhole toward the sleeve and slightly
press from either right or wrong side 2” or 3” down on each side of shoulder seam.
5. The seam allowances under half of the armhole are not turned toward sleeve or dress.

Lower Edge of Sleeve

1. Place the lower edge of sleeve, right side out, over the small end of the sleeve board and
press.
2. Remove sleeve and slip the point of the iron inside the lower edge of the sleeve and press
the hem or facing.

Procedure in Pressing Ladies’ Blouse

A newly constructed or purchased garment or one that has become wrinkled should be
pressed before wearing. Remove any soiled spots before pressing. The pressed parts of the
garment should be moved away from you so they will not be crushed.

a. Press the parts of the garment that are free, such as ruffles, ties, sleeves, or collar.
b. Press pockets, collars, cuffs, or buttonholes from the right side.
c. Press the underside such details as facings, pocket linings, and seam allowances.
d. Press the body of the garment, the bodice first then the skirt.
e. Place garment on well-shaped hanger and do not wear it until it is well aired and
completely dry. Close top fastener and zipper. Remove belt from loops of the
garment and place the belt on the hanger by the buckle.

Basically good, well-made garments, even expensive ones, lose their quality if they are
wrinkled and untidy. Some garments must be pressed each time they are worn. Others which
are of better quality or especially treated fabric may need only occasional attention, but you
can bring out the best in fabric and fit by knowing how to iron a garment. The time spent on
pressing is a valuable investment which gives your garments so attractive on you. Careful
pressing of wearing dresses is essential to good grooming.

15
 Labelling of Blouse

Labels are not functional component of a garment but essential for many reasons.
Seven common labels that are found in garments are Brand label, Size label, Care label, Flag
label, Manufacturer code, Line mark label and special label. Each label has specific purpose
and gives information.

1. Brands or Main Label

Main labels indicate the Brand name or Brand

Logo of the company that originates and sells
clothes. Brand labels play a big role to
customers because customers know the brand
and they buy the branded one. A brand label is
associated with the product’s quality, durability
and feel good factor.
http://www.aroraprint.com/products/custom-
clothing-label/

2. Size Label

Size label defines a specific set of body

measurements. These Size labels may be
printed only a later to denote a specific size.
Such as S for Small, M for Medium and L for
Large size garments. Customers know which
size fit them well.

https://www.jmlabel.com/product_detail.asp?seq=3
87

3. Care Label

Care label assists the customers to know how

the product should be cared. It indicates
different types of care instructions such as
Washing, Bleaching, Drying, Laundering and
Ironing, if it can be maintained in directed way.
It also includes the fiber contents and the
country that manufactures the garment.

instructions-and-symbols-on-label-on-garment-

16
4. Flag Label:

A small label attached outside seam. Flag

labels are normally made of brand logos and
they are used as design features.

https://garmentsmerchandising.com/different-types-
of-label-used-in-garments/

5. Price label

Price label indicates the price of the garments.

https://rbis.averydennison.com/en/home/our-
solutions/apparel-and-footwear-labeling/hang-tags-

5. Manufacturer Label:

This label includes manufacturer’s code given

to buyers. Most of the international buyers
purchase garments from countries. In case
buyers need to track the manufacturer of a
particular product, they look for this code.

https://www.slideshare.net/chandank677/lets-
understand-about-different-labels-use-in-garment-

6. Batch Mark Label:

A label that indicates which sewing line or

batch had made the particular garment.. Few
garment manufacturers add this label for the
internal quality inspection process and rectify
which line had made the garment and which
checker had check the same.

7. Special Label:

100% Cotton, Organic Cotton are example of

such special labels.

Special labels normally attached to draw

customer attention at time of purchasing.

Garment Packaging

Functions of Packaging

1. Protects the Products and Consumer. Good packaging is designed to protect the product.
For example, packages should be designed to withstand humidity, puncture, and other types
of damage.

2. Contains the Product. Containers make products easy to carry and keep them separately.

3. Identity of the Product. A package would be less useful if it’s properly identified. Usually,
the contents are identified by the label on the package. However, using a special design or
color on the package helps customers identify the contents.

4. Promotes the Product. The package is the natural place for promotion. It is part of the
product which is most visible to the customer.

5, Makes the Product Easy to Use. Cartons with spouts for easy pouring, boxes with zip-strip
openings, butter wrappers with measurement marked on them are examples of the
conveniences offered by packaging. In each of these examples, the package is designed with
the user’s needs in minds.

Packaging Materials

The simple packaging materials used in garment and related items are paper, plastic, film,
wood, nails, staples, cords, gum tape and metal bands.

1. Wood cases and crates are generally used as packing materials for bulk exports or rugged
shipments where shipment handling is higher.

2. Paper and plastic film packaging materials are used in the garment and related industries.
The paper types such as kraft, crepe, tissue, paper foil, paper board and waterproof are
typically used as packing materials. Plastic films have a major advantage over paper because
of clarity in range.

18
Types of Packing

1. Stand-up pack:

This type of packing is commonly used for

shirts and hence termed as ‘shirt packing’. For
this type of packing, the garments have to be
pressed prior to packing and are packed with
additional packing materials like tissue paper,
back support, pins or clips, inner collar patty,
outer patty, etc.
https://clothingindustry.blogspot.com/2018/04/pa
ckaging-process-garment-industry.html

2. Flat pack:

In this packing method, the garments are

pressed and folded well as like in a stand-up
pack, however with less additional packing
materials. It is generally normally used for
ladies’ garments and has a flat surface. The
size of the folding is based on the garment
style and specifications of the buyer. https://clothingindustry.blogspot.com/2018/04/p
-process-garment-industry.html

3. Hanger Pack

It is a simple garment packing method where

the garments are secured in a poly bag with a
hanger after pressing. Here polybag is the only
material used. This type of packing can be
used for all types of garments especially for
blazers, coats, pants, etc.
https://clothingindustry.blogspot.com/2018/04/p
-process-garment-industry.html

4. Carton Packaging

After garment packaging, the process of

cartooning is carried out based on the size of
the apparel and its color.

 Characteristics of a Well-fitted Blouse

The kind of fit desired in clothing changes with style and fashion as well as personal
preference. No definite rules can be set as to the exact way a garment should fit. However,
regardless of fashion, style, and personal preference, a well-fitted garment should possess.

1. Appears as if it belongs to you.

2. Have ease of movement.

3. Be attractive to your figure and appear neither baggy from being too loose or stretched from
being too tight.

4. Gives you a feeling of ease and comfort with no need to adjust your clothes in every move.
Try on any garment and look at yourself in a full-length mirror. How does it look? Does it
flatter your figure? Is the color right for you? Does it hide or disguise a feature you do not
want to accent?

5. Does the garment have enough ease to make the necessary body movements comfortable?
