Although coins are still used as sequins in some cultures, modern sequins tend to be made of plastic. They may also be referred to as spangles, paillettes, or diamantes. Paillettes themselves are commonly very large and flat. Sequins may be stitched flat to the fabric, so that they do not move, and are less likely to fall off； or they may be stitched at only one point, so that they dangle and move easily, to catch more light. Some sequins are made with facets, to increase their reflective ability.

從這里的解釋可以肯定，使用sequin不會錯，而且還有別的說法。有時，在査找單詞的時候，會發(fā)現(xiàn)意想不到的線索。比如，査“廓形”的說法，發(fā)現(xiàn)百度百科有一篇標題為“廓形”的詞條，其中提到：

克莉斯汀?迪奧曾在50年代推出一系列字母造型時裝，分別用A、H、 Y等英文大寫字母來比擬他作品的廓形。

順藤摸瓜，査到“克莉斯汀?迪奧”的英文說法Christian Dior,再査找這個人的簡歷，看到：

In the 11 years before his death, Dior dictated European style. Each of his collections had a theme 一 the classic suit, the ballerina skirt and the H, A and Y lines that ruled the early 1950's.

再利用這些關鍵詞去核實:

Figure 4-15. Between 1954 and 1955, Dior introduced his alphabet lines: the H Line, the A line, and the Y Line. The H Line was characterized by the controversial Tudor bodice and dropped waistline of the middy. The triangular A Line of 1955 was a huge success and has remained a constant silhouette of fashion ever since. The Y Line did not translate as easlity into American ready-to- wear versions. Basically it was a slender body with a top-heavy Y look. Some versions were inverted, with a slender top teading to a Y bottom profile.

現(xiàn)在發(fā)現(xiàn)，前面推測和查證的A-shape Y-shape等說法并不正宗。到此 為止，我們找到了各種造型的祖宗，可以確信無疑地說：A字造型就是A Line. 百度百科同一篇文章還提醒我們“廓形”、“款式”的區(qū)別：
