Haute couture (French for "high sewing" or "high dressmaking" or "high fashion") is the creation of exclusive custom-fitted clothing.

Haute couture is high end fashion that is constructed by hand from start to finish, made from high quality, expensive, often unusual fabric and sewn with extreme attention to detail and finished by the most experienced and capable sewers, often using time-consuming, hand-executed techniques.

Couture translates literally from French as "dressmaking" but may also refer to fashion, sewing, or needlework - Fashion-Era and is also used as a common abbreviation of haute couture and refers to the same thing in spirit.

Haute translates literally to "high".

A haute couture garment is often made for a client, tailored specifically for the wearer's measurements and body stance.

Considering the amount of time, money, and skill allotted to each completed piece, haute couture garments are also described as having no price tag: budget is not relevant.

The Jacquard machine is a device fitted to a power loom that simplifies the process of manufacturing textiles with such complex patterns as brocade, damask and matelassé.

It was invented by Joseph Marie Jacquard in 1804.

The loom was controlled by a "chain of cards", a number of punched cards, laced together into a continuous sequence.

Multiple rows of holes were punched on each card, with one complete card corresponding to one row of the design.

Several such paper cards, generally white in color, can be seen in the images below.

Chains, like Bouchon's earlier use of paper tape, allowed sequences of any length to be constructed, not limited by the size of a card.

Clothing (also called clothes and attire) is fiber and textile material worn on the body.

The wearing of clothing is mostly restricted to human beings and is a feature of nearly all human societies.

The amount and type of clothing worn depends on body type, social, and geographic considerations.

Some clothing types can be gender-specific.

A fashion accessory is an item used to contribute, in a secondary manner, to the wearer's outfit, often used to complete an outfit and chosen to specifically complement the wearer's look.

The term came into use in the 19th century.
