armhole
توضیح armhole در سطح شما:
An armhole is a part of your clothes. It is the hole for your arm. You put your arm through it. Every shirt has two armholes. They help you move your arms.
When you buy a shirt, you look at the armhole. It is the opening where the sleeve is attached. If the armhole is too small, it is hard to move your arms. It is a very important part of a jacket or a dress.
The armhole is a structural element in clothing. It is the cut-out area where the sleeve meets the body of the garment. Tailors often measure the armhole to ensure the garment fits the wearer's body shape correctly. A comfortable fit depends on how well the armhole is designed.
In garment construction, the armhole—sometimes referred to as the armscye—is the critical junction where the sleeve is set into the bodice. Achieving the correct shape and size of the armhole is essential for both aesthetic appeal and physical mobility. If the armhole is cut incorrectly, it can cause the fabric to pull or bunch up when the wearer moves.
The armhole represents a significant challenge in pattern drafting. It is not merely a hole; it is a complex curve that must accommodate the shoulder's range of motion. Professional tailors use precise measurements to balance the armhole, ensuring that the garment remains stable while allowing the wearer to raise their arms without the entire shirt lifting. This is a hallmark of high-quality tailoring.
Etymologically, the armhole serves as a functional nexus in the history of sartorial design. While the term is utilitarian, its evolution reflects the transition from draped garments to fitted, structured clothing. The armhole's geometry dictates the silhouette of the garment, influencing how a sleeve hangs and how the shoulder line is perceived. Mastering the armhole is considered a rite of passage for any apprentice in the bespoke tailoring trade, as it requires an intimate understanding of human anatomy and fabric tension.
armhole در ۳۰ ثانیه
- An armhole is the opening for the arm in a garment.
- It is essential for sleeve fit and arm movement.
- The technical term is armscye.
- It is a standard countable noun.
When you look at a shirt, you see the main body and the sleeves. The armhole is the specific gap where those two parts meet. It is a vital part of clothing construction that ensures you can move your arms freely without the whole shirt pulling or tugging.
Think of it as the gateway for your limb. If an armhole is too small, you feel restricted. If it is too large, the shirt might look baggy or slip off your shoulder. Tailors pay a lot of attention to this area to make sure your clothes feel comfortable and look sharp.
The word armhole is a straightforward compound of 'arm' and 'hole,' appearing in English as early as the 16th century. It describes the physical function of the space perfectly. While it sounds simple, the tailoring term for this area is armscye, which comes from Old French roots related to 'arm' and 'eye' (referring to the circular shape).
Historically, as fashion shifted from loose robes to tailored garments in the Middle Ages, the precision of the armhole became a sign of status. A well-fitted armhole meant you had a tailor who understood the geometry of the human body.
You will mostly hear armhole in contexts related to sewing, shopping, or tailoring. You might say, 'This shirt has a tight armhole,' or 'The armhole is cut too low.' It is a neutral, descriptive term used by both professionals and everyday shoppers.
Common collocations include deep armhole, tight armhole, and armhole measurement. It is rarely used metaphorically, unlike words like 'sleeve' or 'cuff,' so keep it strictly to clothing discussions!
While 'armhole' itself doesn't anchor many famous idioms, it is part of the broader clothing-related lexicon.
- To have a hole in one's pocket: To be a spendthrift.
- To be up in arms: To be very angry (uses 'arm').
- To twist someone's arm: To pressure someone.
- To wear one's heart on one's sleeve: To be emotional.
- To give the cold shoulder: To ignore someone.
The word is a standard countable noun. You can have one armhole or two armholes. It is pronounced /ˈɑːrmhoʊl/ in American English and /ˈɑːmhəʊl/ in British English.
It rhymes with 'farm-roll' or 'charm-pole.' Remember to stress the first syllable 'ARM-hole' to sound natural. It is a compound word, so it functions as a single unit in a sentence.
نکته جالب
The term has remained remarkably consistent in English since the 1500s.
