sleeveless dress

Bare-shouldered summer garment

A sleeveless dress is a dress without sleeves, leaving the arms and shoulders bare.

The term covers styles from casual sundresses to formal evening gowns: She wore a sleeveless dress to the summer wedding.

The category is broad enough that sleeveless alone rarely describes a dress's style—cut, length, and occasion matter more.
