The next silhouette is probably the best example of the concept I've been trying to reinforce
that these are shapes, they're not dresses. There's something to build the dress upon
using a basic principle. Everybody before, you can take a journey of a thousand steps,
or a journey of a thousand miles leads to one step, whatever that saying is, that's
this right here, that's this concept. It's a pencil/straight silhouette. This you can
take and obviously we can think of a pencil skirt. What that means is that like a pencil,
there is no variation truly in the shape. The actual silhouette is rectangular. A pencil
skirt is a straight skirt. You can have a tight pencil skirt that curves the body and
still be a pencil skirt but a typical pencil skirt will hug the body without being Spandexy
fitted and then it will, think, look at Law and Order and watch the female lawyers and
what they wear to court. Those are pencil skirts. They're not fitted. They're not tight
pencil skirts, but they do have a straight silhouette.
