Pick up to 5 terms. Seeing them next to each other is the fastest way to learn the difference.
Ball gown
A fitted bodice over a very full, often layered skirt.
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.
Tailored
Structured and fitted through darts, seams and interfacing.
Bias cut
Cut diagonally across the grain so the fabric drapes and clings fluidly.
