Dressmaking 
 
 
waist are stitched together along the tracings, with the 
seam to the wrong side, and the edges are then cut a small 
!fAi" away from the stitching and whipped together. Such 
a seam launders well. 
   (b) Flat or Turn-Over Collars.-For attaching a flat collar 
to a waist the wrong side of the collar is placed to the right 
side of the waist, with neck tracings together. To provide 
a finish a bias strip is placed to the collar and included 
in the stitching. The seam edges and the bias strip are 
creased down to the wrong side of the waist and basted 
flat along the turning. If the prepared bias binding with 
a folded edge is not used, the edge of the bias must be 
turned in and basted flat to the waist. It may be stitched 
by machine or hemmed by hand. The stitching or hand 
sewing on the right side is concealed by the collar. 
   (c) Collar-Bands.-If a collar-band is carefully basted to 
a waist its finishing is very simple, It is stitched to the 
neck of the waist and the stitching continued completely 
around it, close to its edge, to keep it perfectly flat. It 
may be stitched once or twice. 
   (d) Shaped Neck Line without a Collar.-If no collar is 
used and the neck line is shaped, it may be finished with 
a facing or by machine hemstitching, cording, piping, etc. 
(For details, see Finishings.) 
   (5) Making and Attaching Yokes.-The making of yokes 
is very simple if they are carefully basted according to the 
directions given. They require only the finishing of the 
joining seam. This may be done by hand or machine to 
correspond with the other finishings of the waist. For any 
stitched yoke the first row of stitching must be close to the 
edge of the yoke to hold it flat and in place for laundering. 
The basting holding the yoke and lining together should 
not be removed until the collar-band and sleeve are at-. 
tached and the waist practically finished. 
  (6) Making and Attaching Sleeves. 
  (a) Tailored Sleeve. 
  (i) Planning the Sleeve.-In making a: tailored sleeve a 
shirt-waist-sleeve pattern should be used.
