sack dress
Loose, unbelted garment
A sack dress is a woman's dress that hangs straight from the shoulders without fitting at the waist, creating a loose, boxy silhouette.
The style emerged in the late 1950s as a deliberate rejection of the cinched-waist fashions that preceded it: She wore a simple linen sack dress to the gallery opening.
The name comes from its resemblance to a flour sack or grain bag.
