tube dress

Shoulderless body garment

A tube dress is a close-fitting garment that hugs the body from chest to hem without sleeves, straps, or a defined waist—essentially a tube of stretchy fabric.

The style relies on elastic material or a snug fit to stay up: She wore a black tube dress to the club.

Tube dresses are typically casual or cocktail wear, popular in warm weather.
