The Apparel Search glossary has been compiled from numerous resources over
the past several years. In addition to receiving definitions from
our viewers and friends, we have also compiled information from various
newsletters, magazines, newspapers, advertisements, lectures,
brochures etc. The glossary is also supplemented with words
and definitions from Merriam Webster's Dictionary (Tenth Collegiate Edition) and Webster's New World Dictionary.
In addition, we have also created words & definitions entirely from
our own imagination (we tried to make them as accurate as possible).
In some cases, we have created single definitions by combining information from
various locations. This has been done to create a broader & more
detailed definition. Due to the fact that this resource is a compilation from literally hundreds of
resources, we can not guarantee the accuracy, spelling , definitions etc., of
any of the items listed on these pages. Please utilize this resource
at your own risk. Do not rely on our definitions for
accuracy. If you have any additional definitions or have suggestions
for updating current definitions, please continue to submit your comments for
review; Add
or Modify Definitions . Thanks to viewers like you, this glossary has become a helpful tool for
the apparel industry. Please continue to send your new definitions and
definition revisions. |
