How to make a polo clasp with piping

Send

A polo closure is a distinctive detail of men's sports tennis shirts with a turn-down collar. But over time, like many other details of men's clothing, the polo clasp has also become part of women's clothing.

Polo (pulu) - the name of the medieval Persian ball game. Later this game was adopted by the Indians from the Persians, and only then the British. In 1871, the first major polo match took place in the UK, the players were the forerunner of modern tennis. And in 1926, the famous French tennis player Rene Lacoste already competed in the original white T-shirt, the emblem of which made a “smiling” crocodile. Soon, Lacoste launched its T-shirts into mass production.
In 1952, another, no less famous, English tennis player Fred Perry launched the production of colored tennis shirts with a traditional polo closure. The emblem of his sports shirts are colored stripes on the collar. Logo Perry chose a laurel crown. Well, when in 1972 Ralph Lauren launched the Polo Ralph Lauren line, the name “polo” was finally assigned to this shirt.
The traditional polo shirt has a fastener only to the middle of the front and a soft turn-down collar. True, this clasp is used not only on sportswear, but also on blouses, pullovers and dresses, giving the models a laid-back, informal style.

Using an example of a straight elegant blouse, we will show how to properly make a hidden polo fastener with piping.
