Terminology-tops

Last but certainly not least the basics of tops/shirts.


The cap sleeve is of short sleeve and the sleeve just covers the shoulder.



The button shirt is just like the one for men except it has pleats to follow the female figure. It is a classic and can work with anything from pencil skirt to jeans.

The wrap crosses the body and gets tied on the waist just like the wrap dress and the wrap coat.


The sleeveless emphasizes on the arms and can be used with a jacket.


The peasant has a casing on the neck and can soften any look but it is not very flattering for most women...


The ruffled has long sleeve, can be made of silk or cotton and it has a cascade of frills on the chest.


The scoop neck is flattering for any body type. It is really helpful for those with narrow shoulders and big breasts.


The crew neck is for the thin ladies and it is not good at all in hiding bellies or minimizing breasts.


The V neck is universally flattering, the longer the neck it will make you look thinner.


The boat neck with its horizontal neckline makes the narrow shoulders widen and it makes a good balance for girls with big hips.


The tank top is perfect to create layers. You can use it under a jacket,a cardigan or looser shirts.


The ornamental is good for any evening occasion. It can be made of chiffon, satin, with decorations, embroidery, drapes or frills. You can use it under a jacket or cardigan.


The empire is romantic and easy to use with skirts or pants. It is the best to hide your big belly, if you have one like me!


The race back is the one where the straps meet on the back. It can be tight or loose.
