FASHON DICTIONARY;
A basque waist (usually pertaining to a dress) hits at the hip, and in the center dips into a low "U" or "V" silhouette. Since this shape gives the illusion of length, the basque waist is an extremely flattering option for many body types.

This cut of dress or jacket is good for lengthening the torso and minimizing the waistline, making it a popular choice for brides and for formal dresses.

Have you ever wondered what it means when sewing professionals say a design should be cut on bias or along the grain, e.t.c?

CUTTING ON BIAS;
bias grain is the thread line that is at a forty five degree angle to the lengthwise and crosswise grain of the fabric as it is on the bolt”.
So if you have a piece of fabric laying down flat, If u cut right along d diagonal fold, u are cutting on d bias or a 45 degree angle2d selvedge. dn if u cut a parallel cut nxt2d original cut,u can av a strip of fabric cut on bias.dts aw bias is made.
