Side by side
Pick up to 5 terms. Seeing them next to each other is the fastest way to learn the difference.
A-line
Fitted at the top and gradually widening toward the hem, like a capital A.
Bodycon
Skin-tight from shoulder to hem, following every curve.
Fit and flare
Fitted through the bodice and waist, then flaring out sharply.
Bias cut
Cut diagonally across the grain so the fabric drapes and clings fluidly.
Oversized
Cut deliberately larger than the body, with dropped shoulders and extra volume.
