Garments & patterns

A dress with a seam positioned just below the bust, from which the skirt falls loosely, historically associated with early 19th-century fashion.

A dress fitted through the bodice and waist that flares dramatically outward at the hip, often using a circle or gored skirt.

A close-fitting, straight-cut dress with minimal ease that follows the body's contours from shoulder to hem without a defined waist seam.

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