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.

: Yes, and 'tombé' is just the noun form: the hang of the garment.

thanks Tony! My dictionary has "tomber" as a noun meaning "hang," but a quick web search shows that the noun "tombé" is correct too, and more common.

The way it falls...
Maybe something like:
"The special way it falls is due to the little bit/smidgen of silk and elastane it contains."
"While not nearly as common as cotton or wool, silk is a much-loved material by many clothing designers for mens long sleeve shirts, mainly because of its smooth texture and THE WAY IT FALLS."
"The style of this T-shirt is really nice, especially the cut and THE WAY IT FALLS. It is very flattering. Can be worn to work out in or just for smart casual wear."

Yvonne Gallagher
