Today we have two questions from our readers - first, from Scotty:
Dear Professor,
What is the difference between pattern and texture in fabric? I know that, for example, corduroy is texture, but what would, say, herringbone be?
Thank you for your time!
Sincerely,
Scotty
And another from Ellen K:
Every time I hear 'silhouette' I think of shadow, which is not, I gather, what is meant in fashion terms. Is the silhouette how tightly the garment fits, viewed
from the front?
Thanks, again! you're really educating the non-fashionista crowd, here.
Best,
Ellen K.
