Liana tried on several pairs of pantyhose in the fitting room to find out which pair was full-fashioned for her.
莉安娜在試衣室試穿不同的緊身褲襪,看看哪一對完全合身。
若是莉安娜真的找到合身的,則可形容說「It fits her to a T.」(褲襪如度身訂造,像是用T字尺量出來一樣)
●provocative adj. 誘惑的、撩人的
She prefers conservative trousers to provocative cheongsam that slit at the sides from the thigh down, as she thinks wearing the latter would hamper her movement.
她寧可穿保守的褲子,而非兩邊大腿開叉的旗袍,她覺得穿起旗袍很撩人,但行動會不便。
●reversible adj.(衣服)可正反兩面穿著的
My reversible jacket can be worn inside out. It's plain color on one side, and vivid red on the other.
我的上衣可兩面用,一面是素色,另一面則是鮮紅色。
●shoddy adj.(因用料低下而)質劣的

數天前我看見伊希絲抱著一堆新衣,各種牌子應有盡有,可能她打算為衣櫃添置衣服吧。
apparel不一定makes the man,例如︰中國魏晉「竹林七賢」(Seven Virtuous Men of the Bamboo Grove)中的劉伶,常裸裎示人,就曾言「以天地為棟宇,屋室為褌衣」 (Heaven and earth are my house, the room is my apparel)。
