This next style the front style opening is called an oval. Now I've gone over these in
the past but I've never taken it to the depth that it probably needs to go. This is an oval
neck line with a clean finish. What the clean finish means is that along this line you have
your seam for the piece that's underneath, the facing. If you're going to show in your
drawing that it's got a facing you would then do a dash line underneath outlining the shape.
And that shows your makers of the garment, that shows that there is a piece that's sewn
along here in the same shape that it folds in on itself and it goes inside the actual
garment. That makes it have a clean finish, meaning it doesn't allow for fraying along
here and also it's done in such a way that there's no stitching noticeable. It's stitched
outside the outside with inside so it's a clean finish.
