Using the drawstring, you can create a drapery effect in the product, emphasize or change the location of the waist line, shape, for example, sleeves, and make a neckline in the style of carmen.
The drawer can be stitched, bent, stitched or made in the seam due to large allowances. It forms a narrow groove, where they stretch an elastic tape (elastic band) or cord for ties. The drawstring is performed both on the wrong side and on the front side of the product.
The stitched drawstring is an independent part, cut separately. How to perform it correctly, consider the example of a pullover in a sports style from Burda 2/2019:
