☆  silhouette シルエット

============================

When we use the word silhouette in terms of fashion, it means the outline something has, which often helps you to recognize it. It is the shape of the garment. There are only three basic silhouettes that form the basis for all clothing shapes! Do you know those shapes?

They are: the bell (with the outer form shaped round to the waistline). The straight, which hangs from the shoulders. And, the bustle back silhouette, the A-line and V-shape are modifications of the bustle back.

I thought it was really interesting that there is so much variety in fashion these days, but all of these are based on just the three basic silhouette shapes! Interesting!
