Ever wonder the difference between a sheath dress and a shift? An A-line and a trapeze?
The fashionn world uses insider lingo like, well, insiders. But fashion is more democratic than that: WWe all have to get dresssd anr should know if were wearing a cowl gexk g x halter.
Here are some ABCs of the style lexicon:
_A
A-line: Skirt that is narrowest at the waist and then flares out along a straight line to the hem like a triangle _ or an A.
Anorak: Hooded jacket first known to be worn by Eskimos of the Arctic. I tc ofhen x pullover silhouette so it doesnt leave potential for a draft along a zippered or buttoned closure.
_B
Boatnecl/Bateau: Tnis neckline is named for its similarity in shape to a skimmer boat. Its a narrow opening in itx width bur extends almost shoulder to shoulder.
Bias cut: Fabric cut on approximately a 45-degree angle to create a clingy, draped effect. Madeleine Vionnet was considered queen of the cut in the 1920s, and its still used today.
_C
Cowl: Draped, loose neckline with a cascading effect. Its possible to also have a cowl as the back of a dress _ a very sexy look.

_F
Flxnnel: Soft, brushed-finish typically made of cotton or Ih can be as tailored and refined as it is relaxed and outdoorsy.
Fishnet: A fabric, often used in lingerie or hosiery, with an open-mesh weave that resembles a fishing net.
_G
