At first touch
The hidden architecture of tailored and formal clothes.
Good structure supports movement and silhouette without turning the garment into armor.
What it can do well
- Breathable lining matched to use
- Interfacing that rolls and recovers cleanly
- Support placed only where the silhouette needs it
What deserves a closer look
- Plastic-feeling lining in warm or close-fitting garments
- Fused areas bubbling or separating
- Boning, cups or shoulder structure without fit information
Living with it
- Rest structured pieces between wears
- Use broad hangers and protect shaped shoulders
- Treat pressing and cleaning as construction decisions
