| 2. Openings on functional pockets are large enough for the intended use. |
3. The pocket depth is correct for the location and is in proportion to the design. |
| 4. Interfacing is used when needed to hold the pocket shape. |

11. Linings do not roll to the right side at the edges of the pocket, but remain out of sight. |
12. If used, topstitching is an equal distance from the edge at all points unless otherwise designed. An appropriate stitch length has been used, and all loose thread ends have been secured and hidden. |
13. Trims or decorations are neatly applied and appropriate for the design and location. |
14. Pocket corners are reinforced properly according to type, location, method of application, fabric, and use. |
15. Facings or hems are deep enough to stay in position; raw edges are appropriately finished for the fabric and location; under stitching is present when needed, and seams are appropriately trimmed. |

Slashed Pockets - Slashed pockets, or welt pockets as they are sometimes called, have one or two strips of fashion fabric applied to the right side of the garment to conceal the raw edges of the pocket opening. Flaps may accompany the welts, and a lining must be applied and turned to the wrong side to complete the body or bag of the pocket and to conceal the small welt seams. |
