Spanish term

corte entallado

Spanish to English Marketing Textiles / Clothing / Fashion fashion design
This is the description of a jacket, but I am not sure if "corte entallado" means tight fitting, elegant, or something else, as I have found various translations.

The text is a short description, but with no images: Chaqueta negra bielastica de corte entallado, detalle de blonda en las solapas y manga larga

Any suggestions would be appreciated please.

Thanks

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

slim/tailored/tapered fit

See the picture of a similar jacket. The dictionary says "fitted", but I think the idea is that it tapers inwards rather than hanging straight down.

agree Charles Davis : I think "tailored" is best, and "fitted" would be OK. These mean shaped to fit the body, and bodies don't hang straight down (at least they're not supposed to).
