However, it's often used in a more specific context, especially in fashion and design:
* Upper body: It can refer to the upper part of the body, from the shoulders to the waist.
* Top half of a garment: It can also refer to the top half of a garment, like a blouse or a shirt.
Therefore, the best English translation of "parte haute" depends on the context.
Here are some examples:
* "The parte haute of the dress was embellished with lace." (The top half of the dress was embellished with lace.)
* "She wore a white blouse that showed off her parte haute." (She wore a white blouse that showed off her upper body.)
Let me know if you have more context, and I can give you a more precise translation.
