A dress (also known as a frock or dress) is a dress made up of a skirt with a corset (or matching corset) at the hem to create a one-piece effect. It consists of a top that covers the torso and hangs over the legs. A dress can be any dress that contains a skirt of any length. Dresses can be formal or informal. In many cultures, women and girls usually wear tuxedos.

The hem of the skirt varies according to the fashion of the time period and the modesty or personal taste of the wearer

A dress is a coat consisting of a corset and skirt, which can be made of one or more pieces. In the west, women and children are usually suitable for ordinary and formal clothes.

Historically, dresses may also include other clothing, such as corset, culottes, tops, petticoats, overalls and bras.

In western culture, in most formal dress codes, women must wear dresses of appropriate style. They are also popular on special occasions such as dances or weddings. In this case, they, as well as tops and skirts, remain de facto standard clothing for many girls and women.
