granny dress
Old-fashioned flowing dress
A granny dress is a long, loose-fitting dress with old-fashioned styling—high necklines, long sleeves, ruffles, and floral prints reminiscent of what a grandmother might have worn.
The style became fashionable in the late 1960s and 1970s as part of bohemian and folk-inspired fashion: She found a vintage granny dress at the thrift store.
