Details & Finishes
A scalloped edge is a border or hem finished in a repeating row of curved, semicircular shapes resembling the rim of a scallop shell. Soft and decorative, it adds a delicate, feminine touch to hemlines, necklines, sleeve cuffs, collars, and trims, and is often emphasized with contrast stitching, lace, or embroidery.
The gentle rounded scallops feel sweet and dainty, which is why the detail recurs in romantic, vintage, and preppy designs. It can edge anything from a knit cardigan to a swim or lingerie piece.
A scalloped edge is a softer, rounder alternative to a straight or asymmetric hem, adding ornament to an otherwise simple finish.
