Here’s a nice blog post for you who don’t ever seem to know what I'm talking about. let me give you the basics, from material, to stitch and everything in between. From my post on Alexander McQueen, I mentioned a Rouleau loop. Used to button up Kate Middleton’s wedding dress.
Rouleau Loops
In short, a rouleau Loop is a type of button. It is incredibly tight and often you use a hook to to get the buttons through the holes. The Buttons are covered in a fabric of sorts and can be made using the fabric of your garment, Sized specifically and made to space the opening of your garment perfectly.
Darting
Contradictory to the name, I don’t mean you should go to a pub and go and throw a pointy object at a multi-coloured board. Darting is a process by which the seamstress cuts and sews the garment so that it it has 3 dimensions. Darts are mainly used in woman's clothing to make it fitted.
Petticoats
A petty coat is commonly worn under dresses to create a “puff”. To give the skirt more volume. You may know a petticoat to be worn under wedding dresses. it’s mad of a fabric the it aerated and light but strong enough that in layers it can hold it’s shape under a skirt. Petticoats also have a fun side and might have a pretty decorative fabric at the bottom of it to be seen at the bottom of the skirt/dress.
