In my previous post I gave you the opportunity to brush up on your knowledge of German terms for clothes. Today I present you the key for the puzzle. Additionally, you can find some example sentences below, which I consider to be very useful. You will recognize that the sentences are rather ordinary and simple with regard to their complexity. The reason for this is that I want to encourage you to speak. I always tried to give an English translation as close as possible to the German way of making a statement, so that you are given the chance to see how we say something in a very natural way in the German language.

Below you can find a puzzle. All you have to do is to find all words of the list, which I typed in bold letters, in the grid. As you can see, all terms have to do with Kleidung (clothing). Beside the articles, I also provide the plural forms of all nouns.
