Shoulder pad FAQs

What is a shoulder pad used for?

A shoulder pad supports the shoulder line in jackets, coats, dresses and blouses, helps control how the fabric sits on the pattern and contributes to a balanced silhouette.

A fusible pad is positioned with heat during application, while a sew-in pad is secured to the seam allowance. The method is selected according to the production line, fabric and garment pattern.
