Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garment processing technology, specifically to a garment external seam structure and a skirt. Background Technology
[0002] Seam structures are commonly used in garment structural design to join two garment components, either with flat materials or between inner and outer layers. Examples include waist seams between a skirt waistband and the body, shoulder seams between sleeves and the body, and seams between fabric pieces. Current techniques often involve joining the edges of two garment components or fabric pieces, which has drawbacks such as seams remaining in the skin-contact layer and thick seams, especially when there are seams between flat materials and seams between inner and outer layers. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a structure for external seam placement in clothing and a skirt, which can reduce the feeling of heaviness in the seams and discomfort to the skin.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] The external seam structure of the garment includes a seam piece, which has a joining edge and a free edge. The seam piece is connected to the garment material only through its joining edge and is located at a non-edge position of the garment material. The free edge of the seam piece is freely separated and located on the outside of the garment material.
[0006] Preferably, the seam piece and the garment material have a Y-shaped forked seamless woven structure.
[0007] Preferably, the seam piece is double-sided.
[0008] Preferably, the seam piece is one of the following: plain knit, rib knit, double rib knit, plain knit with yarn filling, plain knit with padding, rib air layer knit, or rib jacquard composite knit.
[0009] Preferably, the width of the seam piece is 3mm-20mm.
[0010] Preferably, the seam piece is an outwardly raised pleat of clothing material, the pleat comprising a seamless knitted pleated surface and a pleated lining, the pleat peaks of the pleated surface and the pleat peaks of the pleated lining forming the free edge of the seam piece, the pleat valleys of the pleated surface and the pleat valleys of the pleated lining facing each other forming the joining edge of the seam piece; the pleat valleys of the pleated surface and the pleat valleys of the pleated lining are fixed by sewing with sewing thread or an adhesive film is sandwiched between the facing surfaces of the pleated surface and the pleated lining.
[0011] Preferably, the sewing thread is a chain stitch or a lockstitch.
[0012] Preferably, the garment material is a seamless woven fabric tube, and the seam piece is arranged in a loop or in a strip structure with the ends separated on the seamless woven fabric tube.
[0013] Preferably, the garment material is a seamless woven fabric piece, and the seam piece is arranged on the seamless woven fabric piece in a strip structure with the ends separated.
[0014] This utility model also provides a dress, including a jumpsuit body and a skirt body. The jumpsuit body has an external seam structure at the waist or below the bust. The seam piece is arranged in a circle on the jumpsuit body, and the skirt body is sewn onto the seam piece.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] This utility model's seam structure differs from typical seam structure designs. It includes a seam piece with a joining edge and a free edge. The seam piece is connected to the garment material only through its joining edge and is located at a non-edge position within the garment material. The free edge of the seam piece is freely separated and located on the outside of the garment material. This design places the seam away from the wearer's body at the garment's seam, and it is not located at the edge of the garment piece or seamless knitted fabric, but rather at a non-edge position. This ensures that the seam is not located in the skin-contact layer, avoiding any foreign body sensation or discomfort during wear. Furthermore, it reduces the thickness of the seam at the seam, thus avoiding the same-plane seams of the garment piece or seamless knitted fabric and the seams of the inner and outer layers.

[0024] The markings in the diagram are: 100, garment material; 200, seam piece; 201, joining edge; 202, free edge; 203, sewing thread; 204, adhesive film; 21, pleated surface; 22, pleated lining; 300, skirt body. Detailed Implementation
[0025] To make the above-mentioned features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings for detailed explanation. Example 1
[0026] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides an external seam structure for connecting external components, such as skirts, sleeves, or decorative parts, to the garment material 100. The garment material 100 can be a garment piece or a seamless woven fabric tube.
[0027] The seam structure of this embodiment differs from the general seam structure design. The seam structure of this embodiment includes a seam piece 200, which has a joining edge 201 and a free edge 202. The seam piece 200 is connected to the garment material only through its joining edge 201 and is located in a non-edge position of the garment material 100. The free edge 202 of the seam piece 200 is freely separated and located on the outside of the garment material 100. This is because the seam is located on the outer surface of the garment splice, away from the body, and it is not distributed on the edge of the garment piece or seamless woven fabric tube, but in a non-edge position. In this way, on the one hand, the splice is not left in the skin-contact layer, avoiding the foreign body feeling and discomfort when wearing it. On the other hand, it can reduce the splice thickness at the splice and avoid the same-plane splice seam of the garment piece or seamless woven fabric tube and the inner and outer layer splice seam.
[0028] Specifically, in this embodiment, the garment material 100 is a seamless knitted fabric tube, and the seam piece 200 has a Y-shaped forked seamless knitted structure with the garment material 100. The seam piece 200 is arranged in a loop around the seamless knitted fabric tube 100. The seamless knitted fabric tube is woven with 20 / 30 nylon-spandex covered yarn and 50S viscose fiber in a plain weave structure, while the seam piece 200 is woven with 20 / 30 nylon-spandex covered yarn and 50S viscose fiber in a rib structure. It should be noted that in other examples, the seamless knitted fabric tube can be woven with different yarns in different areas to create different structures, such as plain weave, rib, or rib jacquard composite structures, depending on the desired shaping effect. The structure of the seam piece 200 can also be the same as or different from the structure adjacent to the seamless knitted fabric tube. In different examples, the seam piece 200 can be one of the following: plain weave, rib, double rib, plain weave with added yarn, plain weave with padding, rib with air layer, or rib jacquard composite structure.
[0029] The width of the seam piece 200 in this embodiment is 3mm-20mm, preferably 10mm.
[0030] This embodiment also provides a dress, including a jumpsuit body and a skirt body 300. The jumpsuit body is made of seamless woven fabric tubing. The jumpsuit body has the aforementioned external seam structure at the waist position. The seam piece 200 is arranged in a circle around the jumpsuit body. The skirt body 300 is sewn onto the seam piece 200. Example 2

The seam piece 200 has a joining edge 201 and a free edge 202. The seam piece 200 is connected to the clothing material 100 only through its joining edge 201 and is located at a non-edge position of the clothing material 100. The free edge 202 of the seam piece 200 is freely separated and disposed outside the clothing material 100.
[0032] Specifically, in this embodiment, the garment material 100 is a seamless knitted fabric tube, and the seam piece 200 is an outwardly bulging pleat of the garment material 100, which is arranged in a circle around the seamless knitted fabric tube. The seamless knitted fabric tube is woven with 20 / 30 nylon-spandex covered yarn and 50S viscose fiber in a plain weave structure, while the seam piece 200 is woven with 20 / 30 nylon-spandex covered yarn and 50S viscose fiber in a rib structure. It should be noted that in other examples, the seamless knitted fabric tube can be woven with different yarns in different areas to create different structures, such as plain weave, rib, or rib jacquard composite structures, depending on the desired shaping effect. The structure of the seam piece 200 can also be the same as or different from the structure adjacent to the seamless knitted fabric tube. In different examples, the seam piece 200 can be one of the following: plain weave, rib, double rib, plain weave with added yarn, plain weave with padding, rib with air layer, or rib jacquard composite structure.

The skirt body 300 is sewn onto the seam piece 200. Example 3
[0036] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the only difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment 2 is that the seam piece 200 in this embodiment is not arranged around the perimeter, but rather the seam piece 200 is arranged in a strip structure with the ends separated on the seamless woven fabric tube. Example 4
[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment 2 is only that: the folds of the fold surface 21 and the folds of the fold lining 22 in this embodiment are not fixed by sewing with sewing thread 203, but rather an adhesive film 204 is sandwiched between the facing surfaces of the fold surface 21 and the fold lining 22.
[0038] This embodiment also provides a dress, including a jumpsuit body and a skirt body 300. The jumpsuit body is made of seamless woven fabric tubing. The jumpsuit body has the above-mentioned external seam structure at the lower chest position. The seam piece 200 is arranged in a circle around the jumpsuit body.
