Womenswear

Over time, women's apparel (known as the womenswear clothing category), has evolved. Women's clothing became mass produced causing Ready-to-Wear (RTW) apparel to speed up fashion styles through the use of standard sizing to buy off the rack rather than have one's measurements taken by a dressmaker.

Women's Clothing Categories include Outerwear (jackets, etc.), Innerwear (bras, sleepwear, etc.), Athleisure, Sportswear, Blouses, Suits, Dresses, Evening (special occasion), Bridal, Maternity (for pregnancy), Uniforms (working attire), etc.

Sizes Ranges from Juniors, Petites, Misses, Women's, and Plus size.
