Drop Waist: Fits loosely from shoulder to hip, transitioning into a pleated or gathered skirt at the hip, rather than the natural waistline.

Fit and Flare: Ecompasses many distinct silhouettes, including trumpet and mermaid, all sharing the feature that the skirt begins at its "join line" [the point where the dress begins to flare], below the low hip.
