With these diagrams you can choose the dress silhouette, neckline, and sleeve and put them together. Like the sheath, square, raglan (I've always wanted to try a square neck and raglan sleeves together) and french cuff : )
Pages from the Vogue Sewing, circa 1982. I really like that collar called the Chelsea : )

<3
PS did you get my phone message?
I just did an image search for types of sleeves.
Yes, I did get you message, sorry I didn't call you back. My Babe's been sick at home this week. I feel like I've been extra busy, even though he mostly slept the whole time ; )
I never knew the difference between a shift and sheath either! very useful.
Thank you so much! This is super helpful!
Thank you for posting this!
Thanks for this! Im printing them out and hanging thme by my desk!
I use these charts religiously, thanks!
I'm so glad they've been useful to all of you! I wish I could find more diagrams like these!
I've never heard of "shift" referring to a gown instead of...well, a shift--you know, a slip. I can't see any difference between what the picture is calling shift and tunic though. That makes *sense*, mind, since a shift and a tunic historically have the same cut, with the difference being a shift is undyed linen and laundered frequently, while a tunic is dyed outerwear, and laundered as infrequently as possible, but I wonder why they're both on there.
I see a collar missing from the list. Banded collars are similar to Mandarin, but they overlap and button shut (like removing the lapels from a shirt collar...some Quakers do this to plain-ify their shirts).
Too bad they didn't show an example of keyhole that isn't so open as well. Sometimes it's just a slit coming off a round neckline.
