Crochet

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The name Crochet ( kʁɔʃɛ ), also known as mirror seam , is used to describe the seam that connects the collar and lapel of classically cut jackets , coats and women's jackets .

Since the Biedermeier period , men’s tailoring has paid particular attention to the crochet and emphasized it with an additional corner in the lapel; later it was considered artistic to make a crochet inconspicuous or as invisible as possible. A crochet cannot be worked completely invisibly, as the fabrics of the collar and lapel run in different directions, which cannot be overlooked, especially with striped fabrics - collar horizontal, lapel vertical. If the lapel was closed by hand in the fine, custom-made work , today it is usually closed with a small zigzag stitch.

Although the Crochet today enjoys no special attention, you have to in the confection sure to use this position particularly unskilled laborers, otherwise unclean crafted Crochets immediately notice negative.
