A fitted top featuring a short flared or gathered flounce attached at the waistline that extends over the hip.

A skirt constructed with folded, pressed, or stitched-down folds of fabric arranged around the waist to control fullness while allowing movement.

A method of tracing sewing patterns directly onto fabric by projecting a digital pattern file onto a cutting surface using a video projector and calibration software.

A short or long sleeve gathered at the shoulder, cuff, or both, creating a rounded, voluminous shape through the upper or lower arm.

Metal or plastic hinged frame sewn or glued into fabric to form the opening of a clasp purse, giving the bag a rigid, self-closing top edge.

A minimalist, bias-cut dress with thin straps and a simple silhouette, modeled on undergarment slips and typically made from lightweight fabric.
