Updated October 2026 by the MsDressly editorial team. Quick answer The best women's vest for traveling is a mid-weight, layerable piece (fleece or sherpa for cool-weather trips, a lightweight zip-up or open-front vest for shoulder seasons) with secure pockets, a hem length that covers your hip, and a neutral or earthy color that pairs with everything in your suitcase.

Updated October 2026 by the MsDressly editorial team. Quick answer The "hollow of a dress" most often refers to a hollow-out detail: a deliberate cut-out section in the fabric that reveals skin, placed at the waist, back, shoulders, or neckline. The phrase can also mean the hollow-to-hem measurement used in formal dress sizing, taken from the hollow of the neck to the dress hem.

Updated October 2026 by the MsDressly editorial team. Quick answer A jumper is a sleeveless dress meant to layer over a top, while a romper is a one-piece outfit with a bodice and attached shorts. In US fashion, the practical difference is coverage and silhouette: jumper = dress over clothing; romper = shorts built in. A jumpsuit is the long-leg cousin, with pants instead of shorts.

Updated October 2026 by the MsDressly editorial team. Quick answer Hollow to hem is a body measurement taken from the hollow at the base of your neck — the soft dip between your collarbones — straight down the front of your body to where you want a dress or skirt hem to fall. It's the single most important vertical measurement for ordering gowns and floor-length dresses, because it tells the maker exactly how long the garment needs to be on you.

Updated October 2026 by the MsDressly editorial team. Quick answer A walking suit is a coordinated two-piece outfit — a matching top and bottom, usually a jacket or knit top with trousers — designed to look put-together while allowing easy, comfortable movement. The term is used today for both structured blazer-and-trouser sets and softer knit sets that work for travel, events, and everyday wear.

Updated October 2026 by the MsDressly editorial team. Quick answer A tugless swimsuit is a swimsuit designed to stay securely in place without constant pulling, tugging, or readjusting as you move. Tugless construction typically relies on secure straps, full-coverage bottoms, supportive linings, and firm-but-comfortable elastic that keeps the suit anchored through swimming, walking, and playing.

Updated October 2026 by the MsDressly editorial team. Quick answer A statement dress is a dress designed to be the bold, eye-catching focal point of an outfit — through vivid color, dramatic silhouette, sequins, embellishment, or an unusual cut. The term "statement" refers to the design itself: the dress does the talking, so everything else you wear stays simple. You wear a statement dress to be noticed, not to blend in.

Updated October 2026 by the MsDressly editorial team. Quick answer A slit in a dress is a vertical opening cut into the skirt or gown, typically running up from the hemline toward the thigh or knee. Slits add ease of movement, show a glimpse of leg, and create a lengthening effect. They appear on everything from casual maxi dresses to formal evening gowns and wedding dresses.

Updated October 2026 by the MsDressly editorial team. Quick answer A princess cut dress is a dress shaped by vertical seams called princess seams that run from the neckline or shoulder down over the bust to the hem. Unlike a dress with a waist seam, the princess cut contours the fabric to the body, creating a smooth, tailored silhouette without a horizontal break at the waist. It is one of the most flattering and widely used constructions in women's dressmaking.

Updated October 2026 by the MsDressly editorial team. Quick answer A negligee is a lightweight, often sheer woman's nightgown or loungewear dress made from delicate fabrics like silk, satin, chiffon, or nylon, typically trimmed with lace. The term comes from the French word négligé, meaning "neglected" or "carelessly styled," referring to its intentionally undone, effortless look. Today it sits between sleepwear and intimate apparel.

Updated October 2026 by the MsDressly editorial team. Quick answer A romper and playsuit refer to the same one-piece garment: a one-piece combining a top and short shorts, worn by women as a casual, party, or event outfit. "Romper" is the common American term; "playsuit" is the traditional and British term for the same silhouette. Both are defined by short bottoms — once the legs extend to full length, the garment becomes a jumpsuit.

Updated October 2026 by the MsDressly editorial team. Quick answer A negligee nightgown is a woman's nightdress defined by softness, delicacy, and a deliberately undone elegance. Traditionally made from sheer or lightweight fabrics like silk, satin, chiffon, or lace, it typically features thin straps, a flowing silhouette, and lace or ribbon trim. The word comes from French and literally suggests a "neglected" or casually effortless look.
