Garment Components 6u4l26

Garment Components (Styles and Designs) The garment components are garment parts that require one or more separate pieces to be assembled as a unit. Garment components are the basic sections of garments including top fronts, top backs, bottom fronts, bottom backs, sleeves, collars / neckline treatments, cuffs / sleeve treatments, plackets, pockets, and waistline treatments. Hems may be completed as a part of a component or as part of final assembly. Stitches, seams, and / or bonding are used to assemble components and final garment structure. Fig(s) at Annexure B provides brief descriptions of various garments style and designs. Components such as collars, cuffs, and pockets are small parts that are usually constructed independently for final assembly. Many small parts are attached to the major garment components (tops, bottoms, and sleeves) before final assembly. For example, sleeve plackets may be attached to sleeves prior to final assembly, but cuffs may be added after the sleeve is attached and the underarm seam is sewn. The particular treatment given to a component involves consideration of functional use, aesthetics, quality, complexity, materials, component shape, sequence of assembly operations, and costs.

Top Front, Top Back, Bottom Front, Bottom Back Top front, top back, bottom front, bottom back are the major sections of a garments. Fronts and backs may be one or more pieces depending on the styling of the garment. Left and right sections are frequently minor images of each other but may be different if the garment is asymmetrical. Sometimes side seams are eliminated so that fronts and backs are one piece. Fronts and backs often have other components attached to them before the garment is assembled. 2. Sleeves Sleeves are fundamental parts of a garment design, silhouette and fit. They are functional in covering all or part of the arm. Sleeves also provide opportunities for creative styling, frequently with additional components, such as sleeve plackets and cuffs attached. 3. Plackets

Plackets provide a finished opening in the garment to allow a body part to through. Types of placket formations and methods of assembly vary widely in cost, quality, and design. Plackets often require some type of closure. 4. Collars Collars and other neckline treatments, such as facings and knitted bands, may finish, , and provide aesthetic emphasis for the neckline of a garment. Neckline treatments may also involve closures and plackets to allow the head to through and still maintain a close till at the neck. 5. Cuffs Cuffs and other sleeve treatments are components used to finish the lower edges of sleeves. Cuff type varies with the style, and function of the component and garment, materials used and methods of assembly and attachment. Other sleeve treatments include casings, facings, and hems. 6. Pockets Pockets may be functional, aesthetic, or both. They may be sewn onto garment parts, cut into the body of a garment, or incorporated into garment structure. Pocket treatment may also involve a closure. Pockets are sometimes used as a means of differentiating brands of products, particularly on jeans. 7. Waistline: Waistline treatments include components that serve to define the waistline of a garment, provide entrance to a garment, and / or hold a garment in place on the body. Waistline treatments may involve formation or application of bands, casings, facings, and elastic. They may or may not involve a waistline seam.
