(Staff Photo) Consider Construction Before You Purchase As you slide an outfit on, take a look at it in the dressing room mirror. Besides asking yourself if it fits, consider a garment's construction before you buy, advises Judieth Mock, extensión clothing specialist, North Carolina State Univer sity. Construction not only affects how a garment looks when you wear it, but how long it will wear, she adds. As a top-to-bottom guide, start with the facings. They should lie fíat and not peak out bcyond the seams. Also check to make sure the undercollar doesn't show. Darts should be smooth, without puckers at the ends. Inspect buttonholes to see if they're flrmly and evenly stitched, without any loo se threads. Scrutinize those hem lines. On knits, hemming should be invisible. Pulís and puckers are signs of poor construction. Overall, see if plaids or prints match. Are there any loose threads hang ing out of the seams? Closing Slated HealthCo will be closed on Thursday, Jan. 15, in observance of Martin Luther King's birthday, a spokesman at the health facility announced yes terday. Look inside the gar ment. See if seams have been finished to prevent raveling, especiaUy in woven fabrics. Good construction gives you a better return for your clothing dollar, the specialist concludes.
