[edit] Restoration of Clothing category

Hi, I restored the Clothing category for a few reasons, which I hope will seem sensible:

  • Strictly speaking, a neckline is not a top but rather its upper boundary. Moreover, necklines can be found on gowns, which are not really tops in the traditional sense.

An alternative and perhaps better solution would be to categorize the Necklines category directly under the Clothing category, rather than under the Tops category. I was reluctant to do that, however, without consulting its creator first -- hi, E! :D

[edit] Is halter really a neckline?

I'm not sure that "halter neckline" really belongs here. It's about how it goes round the back of the neck rather than any neckline in the usual sense. Besides, halterneck garments come in a variety of neck styles as the graphic in that article shows. -- Smjg 14:01, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jewel neckline?

I've never heard this term used before; is this an American description or something? The style of plain round neckline on a regular T-shirt is generally known as a crew neck here in the UK. Cheers, DWaterson 14:07, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
