Fashion Terms — the Apparel Search fashion terminology directory
Shorten your website page addresses by using tiny URL services. This makes it much easier for viewers to type a page address when the long version is too long. Page 4's examples shorten addresses for bell bottom jeans and blank T-shirts — two staple searches of the fashion web given addresses short enough to share anywhere.

Thank you for using the Apparel Search website.
Tiny URL Page 4
Before shortening services, a web address was something a reader copied character by character from print, a business card or another screen — and long addresses failed that test constantly. One wrong character produced a dead end. A tiny URL restores the older virtue of a short address: few characters, little to mistype, and a link that survives being read aloud. The bell bottom jeans and blank T-shirt examples on this page are deliberately ordinary searches, because ordinary pages are the ones readers most often need to reach quickly.
Fashion sites benefited in a second way: a short address fits on packaging, hangtags and receipts, carrying the printed world back to the page it describes.
Page 4 explains shortening a page address with a tiny URL service and gives shortened examples for bell bottom jeans and blank T-shirts.
A URL is too long when viewers cannot comfortably type it or it eats the character budget of a short message — the two problems shortening services exist to solve.
The series continues on pages 5 through 8, with page 2 and page 3 holding the earlier examples.
