Lining is not always used when sewing clothes, but for many styles of trousers it is necessary. Especially this relevant for models made of light, translucent fabrics. Many people accept the need to use a base layer for aesthetic purposes: to reduce the sheerness of the fabric. And yet they consider its use in other options to be unnecessary. Let's figure out why this is not true?
Lined trousers
You've probably already noticed that an additional bottom layer of material on pants is not mandatory for all products.
Which trousers are lined?
First of all, let's look at which models require the use of additional fabric and which do not.
- For dress pants this is a necessary detail. It is performed either in full or only in the front part.
- Women's summer models made of thin, translucent fabrics. In them, the lower fabric plays a protective aesthetic function.
Important! In women's models, an additional detail sometimes helps to slightly correct the figure and hide imperfections. Especially if the owner has curvaceous figures.
Unlined trousers
- For sweatpants Most often this element is not used.
- An additional layer of fabric is not used when sewing jeans.
Trouser lining options
Now let's figure out what the bottom layer of material on the pants could be.
Fabric requirements
The fabric to create this element must meet several requirements.
- Be quite smoothso that it glides over the skin with ease: satin, viscose.
- Hygroscopic and hygienic.
- Color matches the main shade.
- Abrasion resistance.
Attention! For summer models, the most suitable material is silk.
Kinds
Depending on its design and location on the trouser leg, the lining is divided into the following types.
- Full - performed on both sides and completely duplicates the upper part.
- Along the front half. This option is sewn to strengthen the front of the trouser legs along the entire length.
- Pocket. This type is knee or mid-thigh length. Most often this type is used for female models.
Why is a lining sewn onto trousers?
In the manufacture of any clothing, the lining performs several functions.
Practical goals
- Protects against show-through matter.
- Prevents fabric from “bubbling” on areas such as knees, buttocks.
- In the abdominal area it prevents wrinkles.
- Reduces wrinkles.
- Makes pant legs easier to slide on during the donning process.
Reference! If the clothes are made of woolen fabric, then a lining is necessary, since this material is most susceptible to deformation and stretching.
Aesthetic goals
When designing trousers with lining, fashion designers most often pursue aesthetic goals. After all During wear, the material stretches more in some areas than in others.. Therefore, the fabric can bulge and spoil the overall appearance. The lining relieves excess tension and allows the outer fabric to return to its original shape.
Increased comfort during use
In summer things this element is also allows you to protect the main fabric from natural dirt (sweat). This is especially true for light-colored clothes. After all, traces of sweat will be most noticeable on it.
And she protects skin from chafing. After all, during movement, the fabric slides over the skin and rough seams can injure it.
