The main interesting part in these pages of The Language of Fashion dictionary, in my opinion, is the part defining and illustrating various types of necklines. This has helped me immensely in my vintage clothing identification! Knowing what type of neckline a dress or shirt has is useful when buying or describing vintage clothing online… it can help you (or your customers) find exactly what they want and know what they are getting.
