A loose dress is a type of clothing that is usually made from light, flowing fabric and hangs loosely on the body. The term 'loose dress' can refer to two different types of garments: a TENT, which is a four-letter word, and a SHIFT, which is a five-letter word. A TENT is a loose-fitting dress with a straight cut, often featuring long sleeves and a high neckline. A SHIFT is a sleeveless dress with a straight cut, usually featuring a low neckline. Both styles are typically worn without a belt or other accessories.
