English term or phrase: Facing
This is the description of what a "facing" is, translated from French:

http://www.coupecouture.fr/2007/03/parement_ou_parementure.h...

Un parement (ou une parementure) est une pièce de tissu que l'on coud le long du bord d'un vêtement et que l'on rabat vers l'envers (pour être invisible) ou vers l'endroit (pour être décoratif).
Il a exactement la même forme que la pièce à border et s’adapte donc parfaitement bien au contour.
On peut utiliser le même tissu que le vêtement ou de la doublure (si le tissu est épais).


A facing is a piece of fabric that is sewn along the edge of a garment and folded backwards (to be invisible) or upwards (to be decorative).
It has exactly the same shape as the piece to be edged and therefore fits perfectly around the edge.
It can be made from the same fabric as the garment or from lining (if the fabric is too thick).

French: parementure
German: Besätz
