In assessing a well-made garment, one must consider the characteristics

of a well-made parts and construction. A garment that meets quality

standard is more durable and fashionable.

The following are the general standards of finished apparel.

If there are good qualities in projects, there are also common faults usually

encountered by a dressmaker:

1. Loose threads and uneven stitches. The fault is commonly done

through unadjusted tension and incorrect stitch

2. Wrinkles on Upper and back arm . This can possibly done when the

sleeve armscye is not evenly distributed on the armhole of the bodice. 3.

Puckered seam. This is due tight upper or lower tension.

4. Conspicuous Hem. Stitches on hem were visible on the right side

than what is required.

5. Shoulder seams too long. When the measurement is not accurately

taken between shoulder tip points and is longer than the exact points. 6.

Tight in the bust. Bust measurement may be measured mistakenly

without any allowance or ease on the pattern.

three sentences only.
