Side by side
Pick up to 5 terms. Seeing them next to each other is the fastest way to learn the difference.
Bias cut

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.
Column
