As you may already know, we already have a fashion terms section, apparel glossary, and a clothing industry definitions section, so why do we need this section. Well, that is an excellent question. Those sections have wonderful educational information, but they do not answer all the possible questions that arise. In this area of the site, we hope to help make it easier to locate some of the most common questions. Equally important, we will be expanding the range of “answers” to the questions. In the “questions” section we will provide additional resources to help broaden the assortment of answers. We will also provide a method for viewers like you to contribute to the answers.
Here are a few question & answer websites that may be of help for your research.

If you have questions that are not covered, you are welcome to ask fashion relevant questions in the forum at the Fashion Industry Network. You can also ask questions or share with answers in the fashion communities at Google+.
If all the above fails, you can always “Google It”.
By the way, if you are really looking for a good answer, you should ask a teacher. It may be a good idea for you to attend a fashion school so that you can further your education.
Don't be afraid to ask questions. Even if it is something as simple as, "what is a belt?"
