Dress edges
I believe the answer is:
hems
'dress edges' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for hems that I've seen before include "Bottom edges turned under and sewn" , "Stitched edges of cloth or garments" , "Stitched garment edges for Shem" , "Fringes" , "Stitched borders" .)
