Sunday dress
Best weekly attire
A Sunday dress is a woman's or girl's best or most formal dress, traditionally reserved for church attendance.
The term evokes an era when families dressed up for weekly services: She put on her Sunday dress and patent leather shoes.
By extension, it suggests any clothing nicer than everyday wear, saved for special occasions.
