half circle skirt Explanation: These skirt cuts are indeed known as "cloche" in French, but not in English. As far as I know, from my limited sewing knowledge :-) their cut consists of a half circle, while a "double cloche" is cut out of a full circle (most fashionable in the 1950s). Consequently, these are known as "half circle skirts" and "full circle skirts" in English. I'm not sure if there's another name for them.. See e.g. http://www.prime-number.com/Blog/?p=307 http://www.kalicofabric.com/half-circle-skirt.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 41 mins (2011-07-12 12:09:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- As opposed to full circle skirts http://www.etsy.com/listing/42160986/womens-full-circle-skir... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 43 mins (2011-07-12 12:11:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- And this French site confirms that the "jupe cloche" is based on a half-circle cut: www.jupe.be/a_lexique_homme_en_jupe_pour_homme.php?...1 - La jupe cloche (1) Forme basée sur une coupe en demi-cercle, épousant les hanches -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 49 mins (2011-07-12 12:18:35 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Hm.. then the Arabic name isn't accurate. Do you mean a pleated skirt (see images) http://images.google.com/search?tbm=isch&hl=en&source=hp&biw... |

2 hrs confidence:
Plissé Explanation: 1. (Clothing, Personal Arts & Crafts / Textiles) fabric with a wrinkled finish, achieved by treatment involving caustic soda cotton plissé 2. (Clothing, Personal Arts & Crafts / Textiles) such a finish on a fabric -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 21 hrs (2011-07-13 09:19:17 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I got your point. But, I understood that she means the name of the cloth itself, as she mentioned: 'this shape in the cloth', this is why I suggested plissé. Reference: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/plisse |
