Marketing - Textiles / Clothing / Fashion / clothes description
French term or phrase: ourlet rapporté
This is from a description of a sweatshirt;

"Sweat en coton et viscose mélangée, encolure ronde avec ourlet rapporté. Bas de sweat forme arrondie et manches "chauve-souris".

I've come up with "curved hem neckline' but has anyone got a better idea?

Thanks in advance!
