trapeze dress
Flared sleeveless garment
A trapeze dress flares outward from a fitted bodice or shoulders, creating an A-line silhouette that swings free of the body.
The style emerged in the 1950s and returns periodically to fashion.
The name comes from the shape—narrow at top, wide at bottom, like a trapezoid.
She wore a trapeze dress that skimmed over her hips.
