Thanks very much indeed for the speedy and helpful response. For the glossary, I've added the English term "ladieswear collection", which (despite the missing apostrophe) appears to be the standard term in the rag trade. ("Outer garments" is offputtingly unglamorous, and "ladies' wear" doesn't really work.)
