This method of processing the neckline completely eliminates the presence in the product of a lining or details such as a trimmed hem and a slanting trim.
"Lazy" processing can be applied only on round and straight necklines, as well as on the bottom and sleeve sections in products made only of thin fabrics - silk, chiffon and cambric. For other materials, this method is not suitable, since the density and thickness of the fabric in this case is of great importance. If it turns out to perform a "lazy" treatment on thick fabric, it will look messy, rude and ugly.
In addition, this is not the main type of processing, rather an alternative to all existing ones, an experiment or just a desire to process the neckline quickly and simply without additional details and complicated sewing manipulations.
I have long wanted to try it, it was painfully attracted by its simplicity and non-triviality to this "lazy" way. But the habit of doing everything according to the rules, and with experience and the desire to comprehend the complex, apply more manual work, did not allow me to be distracted by such an ordinary experiment.
A simple short sundress of a flared silhouette without tucks, without complex details, only the side seams and shoulder straps dotted all the “and”, thereby becoming a prototype for the “lazy” neckline processing.
Zigzag stitch processing
Fabric - thin crepe plain silk.
Neckline with unexpressed corner.
Step 1
Step back from a cut of 0.5–07 cm and lay a stitch with a stitch length of 2–2.5 mm. It stabilizes the neckline.
The cut-off allowance for such a treatment should be 1 cm, maximum 1.5 cm.
Step 2
Unscrew the seam allowance on the wrong side and bast. At the same time, the stabilizing stitch should be visible only from the wrong side.
For the convenience of performing "lazy" processing in this case, I cut a corner exactly to the line.
Step 3
From the front side, sew a stitch, departing from the edge of a fold of 1-2 mm.
Step 4
Delete the note.
Iron the neck.

Step 5
With scissors, carefully trim the allowance as close to the stitch as possible.
Step 6
Again unscrew the seam allowance on the seamy side, bast and iron.
And then sew from the wrong side exactly to the very edge.
Step 7
Remove the mark. Iron the neck.
