Interfacing

By Debbie Colgrove, About.com

Definition: Interfacing is a usually unseen interior addition to various parts of a garment which adds body that the fabric alone would not add.

Interfacing is available in many weights, in woven, knitted and non-woven forms as well as fusible and sew-in forms.
Examples: A facing that is interfaced will add more shape to a faced opening than a facing that does not have interfacing.
