acabado en vuelo

Hola!

This appears in promotional literature about a women's sports dress:

Los tirantes anchos y la espalda nadadora proporcionan el ajuste perfecto.
El acabado en vuelo aportará dinamismo a todos tus remates.

Any help appreciated!

peplum (or flounce finish)

I think this would be the same or very similar to peplum, or maybe "flounce finish"

I did separate google image searches of these terms and acabado en vuelo, but the address bar only shows the search term so I can't post links. Hope this helps!

French (finishing) seam

I also looked at the photos online (and I also thought of peplum and flare). However, the only element that was consistent in all of them was a French finishing seam.

See the following photo of "acabado en vuelo": http://madlolaa.blogspot.com/2013/02/estrellas-de-la-super-b...

I wonder if they mean that the dress has a "flounced finish"?
