shift dress Explanation: Hohendahl textile dictionary gives this for Hängerkleid (which seem to be the same thing) Also states "sack dress" and "loose-fitting dress" I think the "-chen" part means that it could be a child's shift dress -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 36 mins (2007-06-14 06:55:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Low confidence on the "child's" part, high confidence on the "shift dress" |
