Inadequate support from above can cause blouse hems to sag

摘要

Karen Howland replies: A sagging side hem could have several causes, de-pending on where the sagging occurs, or seems to originate. Every garment has an area of support that takes the weight of the structure of the garment and holds it on the body. For tops, this is usually the shoulders. Gravity pulls on the fabric, which responds by aligning the grain with the force of the pull. Fluid fabrics are more responsive to gravity and more likely to expose this problem.
