Princess seams are long rounded seams sewn into women's blouses or shirts to add shaping or a tailored fit to closely follow a woman's shape. The resulting "princess seams" typically runs from the shoulder (or under the arm) curving gently over the bust point and down to the lower hem.
- What is enclosed seam?
What I mean when I refer to enclosed seams is that you're sewing together three or four layers of fabric, and the raw seam is enclosed neatly between the layers, so it's neither seen when looking at the inside of the garment, nor felt against your skin.
