A silhouette refers to
the outer shape of the garment. In this section we have discussed
the basic silhouette that may be incorporated into the Indian
silhouette.
The basic silhouettes are:
A-line
The most common silhouette that
has the hem larger in proportion to the chest and waist
measurement, thus giving the classic 'A' appearance. |
Shift
This has a straight cylindrical
shape to the garment achieved by giving same measurements to the
chest, waist and hem. The effect is best achieved when overall
the garment has a close fit. This silhouette works very well for
the younger customers. |
Tent
This silhouette is achieved by
flaring the garment from under the armhole. It is important for
the garment to be close fitted at the bust. |
Empire line
This refers to a panel dividing
the garment horizontally into two panels below the bust. |
Asymmetrical
This kind of silhouette does not
have a symmetrical form. It can be achieved by varying the true
colours, panels, hemlines etc. |
