 There are many types
of women’s apparel,
including dresses,
social apparel, suits,
outerwear, sportwear,
activewear, & lingerie.
There are also
speciality categories,
such as bridal gowns &
maternity clothes, & a
huge array of
accessories.
 Thus we can classify women’s wear
on the following bases :
› SIZE RANGES
› AGE
› ECONOMIC STATUS/ PRICE
› SEASON
› STYLE
› OCASSION
 Each size range caters
to a different figure
type. Women’s size
ranges include Missy,
Petite, & Plus sizes.
 Missy sizes 6 to 16 are
for the mature female
figure, ht. approx. 5’7’’.
For eg. Adidas Missy
Elliott Respect ME has
got a wide collection of
tracksuits, polo tees,
etc. in missy size.
 Petite sizes are created for women who
is less than 5’4’’ tall. Sizes ranges from 0
to 16. The 579 Store, CK Jeanswear,
Ralph Lauren etc. have a fairly large
selection of cute clothing for petite girls.
 Plus sizes range from 14W to 32W.
Prestigious manufacturers such as
Givenchy , Revolutions, Ellen Tracy, &

 Couture is made-to-
order to fit an
individual client’s
measurements & are
the most luxurious &
expensive. Examples
of couturiers include
Karl Lagerfeld,
Christian Lacroix,
Yves St. Laurent,
Valentino etc.
 Designer pertains to ready-to-wear
from successful designers who have a
“signature collection” ,use the best of
fabrics, quality mass production, &
charge high prices. Eg. Armani, Donna
Karan, Ralph Lauren etc.
 Bridge is a less expensive alternative
to designer fashion & is achieved by
using less expensive fabric or different
production methods. Eg. CK, Versus,
Emporio, Dana Buchman etc.

 Better to Budget. Typically price range is a
step up to budget. The fabrics and styling
are also of better quality than lower-priced
items. Sportswear, coordinates and
dresses may all appear in better lines. Jones
New York and Anne Klein are two examples
of a better-priced line.
 Budget. The low end of the apparel
spectrum usually retails for budget prices.
Often casual sportswear -- jeans and Tshirts
-- falls into this category & sometimes they
are a knockoff of higher priced designer
items. Old Navy, Cherokee, and Mossimo are
a few popular budget labels.
