Women's
Blazers A blazer is a type of double breasted jacket, like that
of a suit except in that it has patch pockets with no flaps and usually, metal
shank buttons. In more recent times, a single breasted form, long in existence,
has come into more common use. A blazer's cloth is usually of a durable nature
as it is used in schools and was used for sport. As sporting dress has become
more adapted to the activity, the blazer has become more restricted to clubs'
social meetings. Women's
Fitness A skin-tight garment is a garment that is held to the skin
by elastic tension. Many skin-tight garments are also one-piece garments.Skin-tight
garments -- or more accurately, snug and closely fitting 'skins' provide protection
from injury while swimming and diving, including reduced muscle vibration, protection
from cuts, stings and abrasion, and as effective protection from UV rays of the
sun. These include diveskins, wetsuits, and shrink to fit jeans.Skin-tight garments
are often considered sexy on an attractive body. As they allow the exhibition

Juniors Most often to what Americans call a dress shirt or tailored
shirt, i.e., a garment with a collar, cuffs, and a full vertical opening with
buttons. In the US it tends to have a vaguer meaning, being applied to many types
of (mainly men's & women's) tops, leaving the word "top" generally
for ladieswear that also come in junior size. Women's
Brassiere Nursing
or Maternity bras are specifically designed for breastfeeding mothers. Unlike
most bras, they have cups which fold down allowing easy access to the nipple when
the infant is to be fed. Many women find underwired bras uncomfortable during
breastfeeding and the latter stages of pregnancy due to the increase in both size
and sensitivity of the breasts, and so most, though not all, nursing bras are
constructed of fabric only. Women's
Shawl A shawl is an extremely simple item of clothing, loosely worn
over the shoulders, upper body and arms, sometimes also over the head. It is usually
a rectangular piece of cloth, often folded to make a triangle, but can also be
triangular in shape to begin with. The first shawls, or "shals" were
part of traditional male costume in Kashmir. They were woven in extremely fine
woollen twill, some were even said to be so fine as to fit through a ring. Shawls
can be in one colour only, woven in different colours(called tilikar), ornately
crochetted or embroidered(called ameli).Shawls are used in order to keep warm,
to complement a costume, and for symbolic reasons. One famous type of shawl is
the tallit, worn by Jews during prayers and ceremonies.

Women's
Petites Knit tops is one from those petites (0-18 sizes) favorites.
Partly, blouse is one of them.The canonical default texture for a knit garment
is that generated by the flat stockinette stitch—as seen, though very small, in
machine-made stockings and t-shirts—which is worked in the round as nothing but
knit stitches, and worked flat as alternating rows of knit and purl. Other simple
textures can be made with nothing but knit and purl stitches, including garter
stitch, ribbing, and moss and seed stitches. Adding a "slip stitch"
(just moving a loop from one needle to the other, without working it) allows for
a wide range of textures, including heel and linen stitches, and a number of more
complicated patterns. Women's

Skirts A skirt is a tube- or cone-shaped garment which hangs from
the waist and covers all or part of the legs. Unlike trousers, a skirt is "unbifurcated"
— that is, not divided into separate legs. A dress (also frock, gown) is a garment
consisting of a skirt with an attached bodice or with a matching bodice giving
the effect of a one-piece garment.At its simplest, a skirt can be a draped garment
made out of a single piece of material (such as sarongs or pareos), but most skirts
are fitted to the body at the waist and fuller below, with the fullness introduced
by means of darts, gores, pleats, or panels. Modern skirts and dresses are usually
made of light to mid-weight fabrics, such as denim, jersey, worsted, or poplin.
Skirts and dresses of thin or clingy fabrics are worn with slips to make the material
of the skirt drape better. The hemline of skirts and dresses can be as high
as the upper thigh or as low as the ground, depending on the whims of fashion
and the modesty or personal taste of the wearer. Women's
Suits Tailored suits for women, originally consisting of a matching
skirt and jacket, sometimes with a vest, appeared in the later nineteenth century.
Severe suits in woolen fabrics were worn as street and traveling costume, and
reflected the skirt and sleeve styles of the day.In the first half of the twentieth
century, the skirted suit became the common daytime city costume for women, in
the workplace and out; dressmaker suits featured softer fabrics and "feminine"
details, and cocktail suits were worn for semiformal occasions in mid-century.Under
the influence of Dress for Success, a working woman's uniform of skirted suit,
tailored shirt, and floppy tie evolved in the 1970s and 1980s. Pantsuits (women's
suits with trousers) were introduced by designer André Courrèges in 1964 but were
only gradually accepted as formal business attire. Women's
Sweaters A sweater, pullover, jumper or jersey is a relatively heavy
garment intended to cover the torso and arms of the human body (though in some
cases sweaters are made for dogs and occasionally other animals) and typically
supposed to go over a shirt, blouse, t-shirt or other top. Sweaters tend to be,
and in earlier times always were, made from wool (typically of sheep, though possibly
of alpaca or other type), however, they can be made of cotton, synthetic fibres
or some combination thereof.
Tank
Suit Probably the most common form of one-piece
swimsuit and its form has given inspiration to the creation of the tank top. The
name is derived from the term swimming tank, an obsolete term for what is now
called a swimming pool.Sling bikinis provide as little coverage, or as much exposure,
as a bikini. Usually, it is worn like a bikini bottom with the side straps, instead
of going around the hips or waist, extending upwards to cover the breasts and
go over the shoulders, leaving the entire sides of the torso uncovered. The straps
then reach down the back to become a thong. Sling bikinis are sometimes referred
to as monokinis, though this usually refers to a garment which leaves the breasts
uncovered.Other types include stringbodys, halter-necks, maillots, plunge fronts
and pretzel suits.
Women's T-Shirts T-shirt
that is typically extends to the waist, although one fashion is for "oversized"
T-shirts. A more recent trend in women's clothing involves tight-fitting "cropped"
T-shirts that are short enough to reveal the lower abdomen including the belly
button. T-shirt fashions include styles for men and women, and for all age groups,
including baby, youth and adult sizes. T-shirts are often decorated with text
and/or pictures.
Women's Tank Tops In American
English a tank top is a sleeveless shirt that can be worn by either sex. The term
is also used in Australian English; however the term singlet is more common. The
name derives from its resemblance to a tank suit, a style of one-piece women's
swimsuit with shoulder straps. ("Tank suit" in turn refers to "swimming
tank," an obsolete term for what are now called "swimming pools.")Tank
tops are often worn by athletes in sports such as Track and field and bicycling. Tank
tops have been popular warm-weather casual wear in the United States since the
1980s and are regarded as acceptable public casual dress in most locales there.Elsewhere,
the term singlet or vest may be used.In British English a tank top denotes a sleeveless
pullover.
Women's Blouse A blouse most commonly
refers to a woman's shirt, although the term is also used for some men's military
uniform shirts.Blouses are often made of cotton or silk cloth and may or may not
include a collar and sleeves. They are generally more tailored than simple knit
tops, and may contain "feminine" details such as ruffles or embroidered
decorations.Blouses have buttons reversed from that of a men's shirts. That is,
the buttons are normally on the wearer's left-hand and the buttonholes are on
the right. The reasons for this are unclear, however. Some suggest this custom
was introduced by launderers so they could distinguish between women's and men's
shirts. Another theory purports that the tradition arose in the middle ages when
one manner of manifesting wealth was by the number of buttons one wore. Female
servants were in charge of buttonning their mistresse's gowns (since the buttons
were usually in the back). Tiring of attempting to button the buttons backwards,
they started reversing the direction of the buttons. Women's
Vests Playing rough in frosty conditions can literally knock the
stuffing out of some lightweight down vests. A tough variable ripstop fabric that
can take the slides, slips and falls without losing the fluff (the variable ripstop
yarns also create a cool cross dye color design). Highly water repellant and lighter
than a lot of similar reinforced alpine down designs. A newly configured quilted
panel construction helps reduce bulk while improving your upper body mobility
for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. Stretch Spandex armholes enhance the
overall range of motion.
