A
A-line
What kind of dress or skirt looks good on everyone?! The style is called an A line & it’s the type of clothing that every big-time fashion designer includes in their collections!
An “A-line” dress or skirt looks like a triangle… or the letter “A”. The top of the triangle starts above the waist and gets wider and wider as it goes down. Since it’s not too tight & not too big, this shape is super fashionable on everyone, whether you’re 5 or 50!
How to wear it: Try an A-lined dress, like the FashionPlaytes Cassidy or Kendall dress, with leggings & a cute pair of ballet flats! Layer on a cardigan & you’re set for any occasion!

Dip dye
Love tie-dye? Well then you’re going to LOVE dip-dye! This super special technique is used to make a really sweet faded pattern on clothing. Instead of a swirl or zig-zag pattern that you’d usually see with tie-dye, a tee or dress is actually dipped into colors in a way that makes the fabric go from one color to another – or from dark to light!
Whether you love purple, blue, green or yellow, dip-dye often combines two or more of your favorite colors to create a cool effect that is sure to be a hit with all of your friends!
How it wear it: Pair a dip-dyed tank or tee, like our Audrey t-shirt, with a rockin’ pair of jeans and great boots! Add a lovely flowered headband and let your creative personality shine!
E
Embellishment
You might have heard this big word used around the fashion world, but what exactly is an embellishment?! Well, it’s an object that is added to something to make it more FABULOUS! You can embellish something (or make it more beautiful) by adding details like shiny rhinestones, bold graphics, sweet ribbons and so much more!
Whether it’s a journal, your backpack or a piece of clothing, the sky’s the limit when it comes to making something cooler! For example: In the FashionPlaytes Design Studio, you can choose from different embellishments to take a tee or dress from boring to stylish & totally your own!
How it do it:Take rhinestones, beads, glitter — and a bit of glue — to make any boring pair of jeans into a beautiful creation! Get creative and try mixing different textures & patterns together!

Tulle
No, we’re not talking about a screwdriver or a hammer! Instead, “tulle” in the world of fashion means a soft fabric that looks like a small net! It’s super light & airy & is typically used as a layer underneath dresses and skirts! Have you ever seen a tutu? Well, many of those cute skirts are made of the exact stuff we’re talking about!
How to wear it: Add a layer of pink, blue or black tulle under your favorite Fashion Playtes tee, skirt or dress. We guarantee that it’ll add a little extra something special to any look!
