Great list of terms, Sharla! It's so easy to get 'stuck' for just the right description. I love the word 'floordrobe', lol. Never heard that one before! Màiri Norris

When I first started writing I started the lists Laurie and over time they grew.Who knew, years later, I'd put them to even better use by sharing them with fellow writers. 🙂

What a handy collection -- I'm amazed at what it must have taken to put all those terms together!

Thanks Karen! That's what I use these for - brain freeze, when the right word won't come.

Well it isn't easy keeping up with the latest fashion terms and fads. Perhaps I should a part 2 to this blog listing all kinds of dress, hats, gloves etc. 🙂
