Silhouette refers to the overall cut and shape i.e. the basic foundation of a dress or a gown. It sets the entire mood of a garment. It represents the appeal of the garment and how the garment will drape on the body. For instance, A-line or sheath dresses will offer different appeal than a bell shaped full skirted ball gown.
We have discussed below a few dress types and the different silhouette offered by them.
These different silhouettes are created by incorporating different waist-lines and different styles of bodice, necklines and skirts. Ruffles, strings, pleats, runches, volumes of fabrics, etc are all used as an instrument to offer different feel, look, drape and silhouette to garments.
