interfacings
Sewn-in structural layers
Interfacings are materials sewn or fused between fabric layers to add structure, stability, or body to garments.
They stiffen collars, reinforce buttonholes, and shape waistbands.
Interfacing comes in various weights and types—fusible (iron-on) or sew-in, woven or non-woven—chosen based on the outer fabric and desired effect.
