A-Line
The fashion term ‘A-Line’ is mostly used to describe a certain type of clothing, usually a dress, skirt or coat that is shaped like the capital letter ‘A’. It is slim-fitted at waist and flares away towards the knees. First interpreted and used by French couture designer Christian Dior in 1955, the A-Line works well on most figure types, but it is perfect for disguising bottom-heavy figures. See also Dior’s H-Line & Y-Line.
