Peremhossza

Peremhossza is a Hungarian term that translates to "rim length" or "circumference of the edge". It is a unit of measurement used in specific contexts, primarily related to textiles and sewing. The term refers to the length of the outer edge of a piece of fabric or material, particularly when that edge is intended to be finished, hemmed, or otherwise attached to another component.

In practical application, understanding the peremhossza is crucial for accurate pattern drafting and garment construction. For example, when creating a skirt or dress, the peremhossza of the waistline needs to match the peremhossza of the waistband. Similarly, the peremhossza of a sleeve opening must align with the peremhossza of the armhole. Fabric calculations often involve determining the peremhossza to ensure sufficient material is available for seams, hems, and any decorative elements along the edge. While not a universally recognized standard unit like meters or inches, it serves as a descriptive term within Hungarian textile and tailoring traditions to denote the length of an edge that requires specific treatment or fitting.
