jumpsuit/catsuit Explanation: Hi Simon, I've been mulling over this one for a few minutes. This might be totally off the mark, but I thought of "single-breasted", as opposed to "double-breasted", because a single-breasted jacket just has one row of buttons, but then I saw Emma's entry and I though of a catsuit or jumpsuit, because that's a garment completely cut from one piece of fabric, as opposed to a separate top and trousers. Perhaps you could ask for an illustration? that might really clarify what the text is really referring to. good luck :) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 mins (2009-02-06 12:37:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Also, the fact that this is "traje" suggests that it's some sort of suit, rather than a dress. |
