What I Did Today (6/1/07)

Today i had to find me some terms that relate to my topic. I had to to find at least 10....

Fashion- A fashion consists of a current (constantly changing) trend, favored for frivolous rather than practical, logical, or intellectual reasons
Design- Combining your type, images, colors logo and other items into a finished eye pleasing piece.
Patterns- are composed of a series of separate strokes
Materials- Material is the substance or matter from which something is or can be made, or also items needed for doing or creating something.
Spaghetti Straps- Spaghetti straps on a dress are very thin pieces of fabric resembling the pasta noodle. Found on everything from sundresses to after five dresses, the spaghetti strap is a feminine way to show off bare shoulders and arms
Shirt Dress- A shirt dress borrows details from a man's shirt. Some of them are: a collar, a button front or cuffed sleeves. Frequently made up in crisp fabrics like cotton, the shirt dress often has a looser fit with waist definition given by a belt. Button fronts and forgiving fit make this a flattering look for most bodies.
Sheath- A sheath dress features a figure-hugging silhouette with a defined waist (no belt or waistband). This short (mid-calf or shorter) dress works well in sleeveless styles on well-toned bodies.
Halter- The halter dress consists of two pieces of a material that meet behind the neck. This style may range from thin, spaghetti straps that tie to draped fabric that crosses at the collarbone and meets behind the neck.
Coat Dress- A coat dress is a tailored dress featuring button, toggle and tie closures similar to those found on outerwear
Ball gown- A ball gown is a type of long dress that is fitted at the bodice, with a very full skirt. This is the most formal dress silhouette, usually reserved for the dressiest of occasions
Jewelry- an adornment (as a bracelet or ring or necklace) made of precious metals and set with gems (or imitation gems)
