Denim hem
Making a hem is certainly one of the most classic alterations for a dressmaker and one of the most basic in the world of elegance. And yet, these days, we would almost tend to be satisfied with a quick seam or an approximate Trousers hem.
Could it be that some people have forgotten their eye for detail? Or that the reflex to call in a alteration specialist has been somewhat lost? In today's fast-paced world, let's get back to basics and take the time to do things right.
Discover all the possible alterations for your Trousers bottoms here.
The importance of Finishing Trousers
Fashion is cyclical, as you know. Trends come and go. But the industrialisation of fashion has led to an interest in the 'cheap' and the 'disposable', which means that we are constantly buying new clothes. In this dynamic, we care less about Finishing or quality. And we lose the very essence of fashion and style.
Yet a well-finished garment brings so much chic and elegance to its owner.
At Tilli, we favour responsible consumption, which also means that we prefer quality to quantity.
Hence the importance of alterations and a well-finished garment.
The right hem for your waist and Trousers can make all the difference to the final look.And it's in the details that beauty and elegance lie.
The classic hem
The classic hem is the one found on most jeans, with visible topstitching at the top.
It is suitable for bell-bottom jeans, slims and jeans where the bottom of the Trousers is less wide than the thighs or knees.
It goes with many styles and will look just as good with a pair of boots as a pair of sneakers.
The invisible hem
The invisible hem can be made by hand or machine.
To do this, the seamstress will punch into the stitches of your jeans without ever going completely through the fabric.
It is thanks to this technique that it is called invisible since the hem will not be apparent on the right side.
The invisible hem is an aesthetic hem that is most often paired with chic outfits.
The raw hem
The raw hem is a hem that shows the stitches of your jeans.
To make a raw hem, the seamstress will need to cut the original hem of your jeans with scissors and come in to create pretty fringes using a seam ripper. Frayed effect guaranteed!
Personalised hems
The custom hem does not have a definition as such. It will have the definition you give it. This could be a floral fabric yoke, rows of beads, embroidery work.
It's anything you could imagine on the bottom of your jeans. A singular and probably atypical customisation job.
You should know that at Tilli, we offer, in addition to alteration services, transformation services. Together, we could imagine Finishings for the bottom of your Trousers. Take a look at our embroidery service or our work with pearls from our jewellery partner Swarovski.
That should give you some ideas!
