flat felled seam
Explanation:
As far as I know the french seam is simply a double seam. Stitched first on the right side then the wrong side.
A shirt requires a flat felled seam. The seam is stitched on the wrong side, then the raw edge gets folded over and stitched down on the wrong side.
Both types of seam have the virtue of hiding raw edges.
