Facings
Facing is a common tool in the retail industry to create the look of a perfectly stocked store by pulling all of the products but it is also a term used in garment-fabrication.
Facing a part of a garment is the process of covering the raw edge or finishing it with a piece of fabric of cloth. Facings show on only one side of the garment. When facings are turned to the wrong side, they are seen (inconspicuous) from the right side. This is called inside facing.

2. The grainline of the facing should match that of the edge being faced.
3. The width of the facing should always be enough to give a neat, flat finish.
4. The facing edge and garment edge should be placed exactly together with right sides together.
