Thanks, Kathleen. That’s what I’ve done on washable fitted dresses and such. I guess I never noticed it in RTW because I don’t do much RTW shopping. I really should because it’s so educational. BTW, I love your “helpers”. I often wonder why creative people and felines gravitate toward one another. I have four – sometimes it’s hard to accomplish anything, as you know.

Hi Gigi
Yeah, serge that edge off but still, the line is shaped. For the serge to follow the curvier line, it’d have to be trimmed out at the outset.

Kathleen, I assume you mean excess fabric is removed in lined garments only. If I’m mistaken, is the raw edge of the dart serge-finished in unlined garments?
