3. Sufficient rows of stitching are used to prevent the elastic from
folding over on itself. |
| 4. Any joins in the elastic are lapped, butted or trimmed to reduce bulk. |

| Internal Casings - An internal casing uses a fabric casing applied to the |
inside, or sometimes to the outside, of a garment. Elastic or a drawstring is
inserted in the casing in order to control waistline fullness. |
| |
| |
| 1. The stitching lines are parallel. |
2. The casing is the correct width for the elastic (usually 1/8" wider than
the elastic) or the drawstring (usually 114" wider than the diameter of
the drawstring). |
3. The raw edges of the casing are finished, if necessary, to prevent
raveling. |
| 4. The elastic or drawstring is not twisted in the casing. |
| 5. Openings in the casing, when present, are neat and durable. |
6. Casings for the elastic are stitched closed after the insertion of the
elastic. |
7. Any seams in the elastic are lapped, butted, or trimmed, to reduce

Waistline Seams - A waistline seam is created when garment sections are
seamed together at the waistline. |

1. All major construction points on both garment sections are matched
i.e. seams, darts, pleats and gathers. |
| 2. Fullness, if present, is evenly distributed unless otherwise designed. |
3. A waist stay is applied if necessary. The stay is cut the proper length

4. For inset bands at the waist, see the description under NECKLINE
