Couture Values
A guarantee of quality and durability
In sewing, every detail counts, and seam values, also known as seam allowances, are a perfect example. These margins refer to the space between the seam line and the edge of the fabric, an often overlooked but crucial element in ensuring garment quality and durability. Discover why sewing values are so important and how they embody our commitment at 17H10 to creating pieces that fit your life and your needs.
What is a Couture Value?
Seam values are the margins left between the seam line, where the fabric is joined, and its outer edge. This space plays a key technical role:
- Seam strength: Margins ensure lasting hold, preventing tears.
- Clean finish: For clean seams and to prevent the fabric from fraying over time.
- Adaptability: They offer the flexibility to adjust garments to your morphology.
Wider seam allowances for greater freedom
At 17H10, we go beyond the usual standards to offer you more than just a garment: a piece that adapts to your life. Our garments, and especially our pants, incorporate extended sewing values.
Why extend sewing values?
In addition to guaranteeing a solid and durable fabrication, these generous margins allow you to adjust your garments according to your needs:
- Size adjustment: You can increase the size of your pants by one and a half sizes. For example, a size 38 can become a size 40.5.
- Flexibility for weight fluctuations: We know that some women's weight can vary over time. These extra margins help extend the life of your garments by making them adjustable to your changing morphology.
