It affects the final appearance of the garment and also undergoes much strain while wearing the dress especially dresses without fasteners. Hence the neckline finish must be stronger. Neckline finish increases the durability of the garment. It should retain the shape and size. Mostly bias strips are used to finish the necklines, because of its stretchability. Most necklines are finished in one of the following three ways: Bindings Facings Collars

14. BIAS BINDINGS: It is cut on the bias direction of the fabric. The bias cut allows the binding to be molded to fit simple shapes and shallow curves.

15. FACING A facing can provide a smooth finish for necklines and front openings. Facings can be categorized as follows: Shaped facings Bias facings Extended facings

16. The neckline should lie flat and smooth as intended. It should not fall over the shoulder as the wearer puts on the garment. The raw edges should be neatly finished. The width of the binding is even. All the raw edges of the binding/ facing are concealed. The binding/ facing should fit the edge to which it is applied without stretching or drawing the neckline.
