sleeveless dress
A dress with no (attached) sleeves.
Do not confuse this tag as a "catch-all" tag for all dresses that simply leave the shoulders bare.
- If the dress has a low and wide-cut neckline and has attached sleeves that sit on the arms instead of on the shoulders, it is an off-shoulder dress.
- If the dress has no attached sleeves and has no support of the shoulders (ie. halternecks, shoulder straps, etc.) to keep it in place, it is a strapless dress.
Sleeveless dresses, strapless dresses, and off-shoulder dresses are mutually exclusive to each other.
