Dressline

/ˈdrɛslaɪn/ noun

Definition

The waistline or hemline of a dress; the style or cut of the neckline, waist, or hem of a dress.

Etymology

Compound word from 'dress' (a garment) and 'line' (edge or contour), describing specific edges or contours that define a dress's shape.

Kelly Says

Fashion designers use precise terminology for every edge and seam—'dressline' might refer to an empire waist, A-line, pencil skirt line, or neckline, and these details can completely change how flattering a dress is on different body types.
