HANDBAGS
C lothes are such an integral part of our lives. Each year, we spend hours upon hours shopping and getting dressed, but do we ever actually think about what were wearing? For example, whats the name of the style of your shirt? Who invented your favorite type of pants? Or who made your baby-doll nightie famous?
Typically, people look at whats hanging in their closet and see just clothes. Little do they know, there is a story behind every style. This book will reveal those stories. In Fashion 101, youll learn where the miniskirt came from, why military outfitters and wartime restrictions have had a stronger influence on fashion than either Audrey Hepburn or Gwen Stefani, and how denim makers work those perfect whiskers into your worn-out jeans.
Are you a daring fashionista with a penchant for racy hot pants ? Find out who was crazy enough to invent them and which working women were required to wear them as uniforms (no, not exotic dancers). Maybe youre just getting into this fashion thing. Youll pick up style tips that can help you avoid rookie moves like flashing VPL (short for visible panty lines).
Offering the total scoop on underwear , outerwear , and dozens of accessories , Fashion 101 is a crash course in fashion that will guide you in how to put together smarter looks and become a fashion expert in the process.
A s recent as 80 years ago, women wore a dress or skirt every day. Can you imagine? Of course, our foremothers didnt have much choice: At that point, a womans right to vote in the United States had not yet been recognized, much less the kind of gender-bending chic modeled by silver screen icon Marlene Dietrich. But with more freedom and physical activity came other types of garments, and the onetime bound-by-corset uniform is now a feminine power tool, worn when a girl wants to show off her silhouette and ladylike ways.
Consider the shifts Jackie Kennedy wore on the campaign trail; the backless, second-skin gown Marilyn Monroe slinked in while scandalously singing to JFK; or the shocking Versace bondage dress that Liz Hurley flaunted at the premiere of Four Weddings and a Funeral.
Even the most basic dress and skirt styles continue to prove timeless. Just check out the vintage gowns that A-list stars wear to big events like the black-and-white Valentino Julia Roberts wore when she won her Academy Award. And since its introduction, the flirty miniskirt is yet to waver in popularity. Even the ball gown , which might seem dated at first glance (when was the last time you donned a crinoline under a floor-length gown?), has its very relevant and modern incarnation: the prom dress.
Many of lifes milestones quinceaeras, sweet sixteens, confirmations, Bar and Bat Mitvahs, weddings, and even graduations are marked by the ritualistic wearing of a special gown. Gliding across the room in that perfect dress or skirt can make us feel like the star of the party which is, after all, the point.

cinch waist a waistline that is pulled in, generally with a belt.
dart a V-shaped taper sewn in a garment to make it fit closer to the body; in dresses, darts are often sewn into the bodice near the armpit.
dcollet a low-cut neckline.
dropped waist a waistline that falls below the natural waist.
empire waist a raised waistline that starts under the bust.
smocking a line of closely pinched fabric.
tapered becomes narrower at one end.
