Pick up to 5 terms. Seeing them next to each other is the fastest way to learn the difference.
Bodycon
Skin-tight from shoulder to hem, following every curve.
Fit and flare
Fitted through the bodice and waist, then flaring out sharply.
Tailored
Structured and fitted through darts, seams and interfacing.
Fitted
Close to the body without being skin-tight.
Bias cut
Cut diagonally across the grain so the fabric drapes and clings fluidly.
