Hiding weapons and items beneath clothing is an old trick, one that is so widely known as to be almost useless. Hiding items inside clothing, however, is much more likely to succeed. A secret hem is the most common means of doing this. Usually placed at the end of a sleeve, bottom hem of a dress at the end of a pants leg, a secret hem is a hidden pouch of sorts created out of the fabric of the garment and sewn shut. It is sewn well enough to stand up to normal wear and tear, but a simple pull by the wearer is enough to open it. A secret hem cannot contain anything heavy without giving away its existence, but it does make an excellent place to store items like lockpicks, garrotes or even a finger blade.
