16.3.3. Binding: Bias binding is used to finish and strengthen raw edges and to add a decorative trim to a garment. It shows both on the right and wrong side. It is used to finish necklines, armholes, sleeve edges, front closings, collars, cuffs and seams. It can be adapted equally well to straight, curved gathered and irregular edges (like scallops). When finished, bias binding should have uniform width (less than �) and should lie flat and smooth without any stitches showing on the right side of the garment.

If translating and draped styles from a sketch observe where both sides must be modeled. If translating and draped styles from a sketch observe where the folds are coming from and going to and the amount involved at either end.
