Lings is the measuring unit of button diameter. To measure the outer diameter of button we use lings number. 1 ling = 1/40 inch = 0.025 inch = 0.636 mm

If the increasing or decreasing is done in either lengthwise or widthwise or in any two sides of a pattern then it is called ¼th part grading.

A layer of fabric which is used between two layer of fabric to give the particular area desired shape and to enhance the strength of that particular position which is called interlining. e.g. collar, cuff.

Without m:l we can not determine the required amount of dyes, chemicals and water during dyeing, washing and other wet processing. That’s why m:l is important.

☛ Garments design.

☛ Pattern design & pattern preparation.

☛ Pattern grading

☛ Marker making

Two types—

☛ One piece cuff (The cuff which includes both front & back in one piece of cloth),

☛ Two piece cuff (two piece of cloth).

The special component which is attached outside of the garment for decorative purpose called motif. e.g. company name, trade mark or other symbols can be written on the motif.

☛ Stand up (collar is folded to remain at 90° angle from the floor level)

☛ Semi stand up (collar is folded to remain at 45° angle from the floor level)

☛ Flat pack (collar is laid to the floor level at 0° angle)

☛ Hanger pack (collar is folded for a hanger).

To spread cloth as determined by needed quantity as per marking/ the smooth laying out of fabric in superimposed layer of specified length.

☛ Open front and fastened with a zipper or button,

☛ Garments with waist band,

☛ Used as warm shirts, and

☛ Usually made of wool/acrylic.

The interlining which is attaching to the garments component by the application of temperature and pressure is called fusible interlining

We continue sewing for several times within a vary short distance to increase the load or strength of that particular portion which is termed as bar taking.e.g- edge of pocket, belt loop, Fly piece etc.

Fabric which can retain the same appearance in case of turning in 180° angle called symmetrical fabric. e.g. solid dyed fabric.

E-textile also known as electronic textiles are fabrics that enable computing, digital components and electronics to be embedded in them. The emphasis of e-textile will be on creating a women textile with embedded copper which will provide the usual wear comfort and at the same time it will have a circuit with a few chips sunning at few megahertz.

Example: In the field of medical prevention and rehabilitation it becomes highly necessary to continuously monitor the patient’s health condition by keeping sensing devices close to the body and e-textile can successfully accomplish senior functionality.

☛ One piece (Banded) collar,

☛ Two piece (banded) collar,

☛ Sport open (no bended) collar.

The size of garments can be expressed by two methods-

☛ Alphabetical expression e.g. S,M,L,XL,XXL

☛ Numerical expression e.g. 38,39,40,41,42(in cm or in inch)

It is the engineering idea which is applied at the time of marking for reducing the consumption of fabric. In this case consumption is reduced by overlapping the patterns or reducing the patterns or dividing the patterns into two parts like cuff, side pocket of pant etc.

The part which is folded into the inside of the front. This is two types—

☛ Upper front gusset,

☛ Lower front gusset.

The shipping bill is the main documents required by the customs authority for allowing shipment. It contains description of export goods and other particulars as defined in The Sea Customs Act, name of the vessel in which goods are to be shipped, Country of Destination etc.

There are three sections-

☛ Collar section

☛ Cuff section

☛ Body section
