hemline

1 This season, designer Vanessa Seward served up sweet little-girl frocks with oversized ruffles at the neck and hemlines.

2 When hemlines dropped below the knees, they flared out or were edged with fur.

3 He wasn't happy with the hemline on another's gown, so that needed to be adjusted, too.

4 But with Sander et al pushing the Overton window, the hemline of men’s shorts might just settle somewhere more sensible.

6 Following the Bonnie Cashin route for clothing, he started with a square-cut plaid coat, given a sweet touch of youth with a short hemline, flat shoes and a bold fringed bag.

8 THE 1920s notion of a “hemline index,” in which the economist George Taylor posited that skirt lengths rise and fall in relation to the economy, suggests that fashion is socially determined.

9 At other times, she has been described as the embodiment of a current '50s-inspired ladylike trend, preferring classy, knee-length hemlines and soft silhouettes while avoiding anything skimpy or skin-tight.

10 The very word 'hemline' can summon visions of midcentury women's fashion and the Byzantine bylaws that simply had to be followed whenever imperious French designers raised and lowered skirt lengths.

“裙摆长度”这个词会让人想到中世纪女性的时尚，以及拜占庭时期那些专横的法国设计师每次调整裙子长度时必须要遵循的规定。

11 That is especially true of classics such as check patterns, which can be given the 3-D treatment or enlarged so that straight brush strokes bleed off a hemline or slice across pants.

12 They're too busy chasing recognition to read, not to mention being either acutely aware or in denial that obscurity lurks a breath away from fame's hemline.

13 You may know of the hemline theory — the idea that skirt lengths fluctuate with the stock market, rising in boom times and growing longer in recessions.

14 In part, that’s because Ms. Prada offered a wide variety of shapes and hemlines, despite a concise framework, and because the flowers never got boring.

15 The trend is obliquely related to the modesty movement, one high on puffed or belled sleeves, smocklike frocks and ankle-skimming hemlines.

16 “When your hemline drops, you suddenly realize your coat is too short, so you need a new coat; your heels are too high, so you look for a flat or a wedge.”

17 Shorter hemlines are back in this season.

18 But that doesn’t mean it’s easier for women — and many of them complain that, from heels to hemlines, that also means they have more rules to follow.

19 The skirts fall right to the knee, a few inches above Bakst’s hemline.

20 The deliberate imperfections, irregular surfaces and up-and-down hemlines strike style watchers as an antidote to overexposed and overtly commercial Western styles.
