A long garment is a type of clothing that covers the body from the neck to the ankles. Common examples of long garments include the CASSOCK (7 letters), ROBE (4 letters), maxi (4 letters), GOWN (4 letters), and CAFTAN (6 letters). The CASSOCK is a long, close-fitting garment worn by clergy members in some Christian denominations. Robes are loose-fitting garments that can be worn for formal or informal occasions. Maxis are long skirts or dresses that reach the ankle. Gowns are usually more formal than robes and are often worn to special events such as weddings. Caftans are loose-fitting garments with long sleeves and an open front.
