Hint

Mark, measure, and trim carefully. After trimming, the hem can be shortened but it cannot be lengthened.

3. Steam-press the braid to remove fold lines.

4. With the right-side up, match and pin the braid to the edge of the garment, overlapping the ends 1⁄2" (6mm).

Hint

Lay the skirt flat to pin to avoid stretching the skirt and/or the horsehair braid.

5. Use a short running stitch to sew the braid ends together.

Hint

If the garment is not lined, cover the ends of the braid with a piece of seam binding or satin ribbon so they will not snag your hose. Unpin a short section of the braid. Wrap the binding around the ends, then hand sew the raw edges together.
