point de bride ou bride d'arrêt Explanation: I just did a great deal of work on "point de bride" for Kudoz http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1740156 at the end of January. There had been a great deal of confusion as to what exactly constituted a "point de bride" and it turns out that the confusion is due to the fact that the bar tack is a reinforcing stitch and several different stitches can be used to execute it. You will also note that "bride d'arrêt" is also listed in the body of that answer. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day2 hrs (2007-03-16 03:45:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It occurred to that I should go look at some mens’ ties so I went and looked at the ties in my husband’s closet. On all of his ties, there are indeed two hand sewn bar tacks at each end of the center back seam of the tie. The rest of the center back seam is actually made up two folded plackets, one at each end. In the link that you gave for the tie in question, you can actually see the gray bar tack as it crosses the center back seam. On a less expensive tie, this bar tack may be just a couple of long stitches but on the expensive silk ties that I saw, the bar tacks are worked exactly as described in the Good Housekeeping Home Dressmaking reference previously given. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days3 hrs (2007-03-17 04:27:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- ********** point d'arrêt ********** While looking at your question about the blade and tail of a tie at http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1823698, I found this French web site which has a wonderful schema of a tie. On this site they used the expression "points d'arrêt" for bar tacks. http://www.media-mode.com/identite.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 days (2007-03-22 14:51:53 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Thank you! |
