How is this closing made? It would appear that the edges of the embroidery are at true CF, and an underlap has either been added or cut into the right side. The buttonholes on the left come very close to the finished, embroidered edge, and the buttons are sewn to the underlap [which can be narrow]. This places the buttons just off of CF. This added underlap is a good method for a curved CF opening [of course it works with a straight one too...but there the underlap can just be cut into the fabric]. You see it in 19th century women's bodices a lot, when they curve over the bust and into the waist. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
