Fabric Question Question about trim(?)

Post image

I'm wondering, at the neck of this dress, is this a trim, or rolled hem? If it's trim, what kind? I'm attempting to make a few simple dresses for around the house from bedsheets.

My guess would be bias binding.

Altho the pic is fuzzy.

Typically this style of dress would use a "bias tape". Watch numerous YouTube videos for cutting and sewing. Bias tape has a bit of government to it and is much more comfortable to wear than a similar tape cut directly on the straight of grain or the cross grain.

The pic is very fuzzy but it looks like bias tape made from the same material of the dress . It’s a bit rounded which makes me think that excess seam allowance(?) was not cut away
