L'entoilage ajoute de la rigidité et du «corps» au vêtement en lui donnant la forme voulue à certains endroits. Il sert également à renforcer les parties qui subissent beaucoup de tension comme les poches et les fermetures. On taille ordinairement l'entoilage de la dimension de la parementure et on l'insère entre la parementure et le vêtement (...) On trouve sur le marché trois tissus d'entoilage principaux : les toiles, les synthétiques et les préencollés. Ils se présentent tous trois en une variété de pesanteurs et de textures et en différents coloris de pastel et foncés. Indépendamment du genre d'entoilage utilisé, sa pesanteur doit convenir à celle du tissu du vêtement. 1, record 3, French, - entoilage
