right sides

Fabric's visible surfaces

Right sides are the surfaces meant to be seen—the outer face of fabric, the public face of an object.

In sewing, the right side shows the pattern or finish; the wrong side stays hidden.

To be on the right side of someone is to have their favor.

To get on the right side of a problem is to solve it.

The plural often appears in instructions: Place right sides together before stitching.
