      "paragraph": "In the world of fashion, relative clauses can play a pivotal role in describing garments and their unique features. For instance, a dress that is adorned with sequins may catch the light beautifully, but a suit which is crafted from fine wool offers a distinct level of elegance. Notably, fabrics like silk that are synonymous with luxury are often used in high-end clothing lines. Designers who prioritize sustainable practices frequently choose materials such as organic cotton, thereby reducing environmental impact. Clothing styles, which vary widely across cultures, reflect personal expression and societal norms. In history, certain garments that were once symbols of status are now accessible to a broader audience due to changes in manufacturing and distribution. Accessories, which complement outfits, can also be described by relative clauses: jewelry that sparkles or scarves which are hand-knitted. Understanding how clothes are presented linguistically offers not only a richer vocabulary but also insights into cultural values embedded within fashion choices.",
