Glossary entries

  • Interlining is a supporting material that sits between two layers of fabric in a garment part and gives areas such as collars, cuffs and plackets their shape and strength. It comes in fusible types, bonded with heat and pressure, and sewn-in types.

  • A zipper (also called a zip or slide fastener) is a fastener that opens and closes when a slider interlocks and separates the facing teeth on two tapes. It is used on garments, bags and similar products, and is defined by tooth type, end construction and size number.
