slip dress
Minimalist evening garment
A slip dress is a simple, lightweight dress styled after a woman's undergarment—typically featuring thin spaghetti straps, a straight or bias cut, and minimal construction.
Usually made of silk, satin, or similar fabric, it drapes close to the body.
The slip dress emerged as outerwear in 1990s fashion and remains a staple for its versatility: She threw a cardigan over her slip dress for the party.
