While this word "dress' Is most
usual there are some people who

Some persons always speak or

Perhaps the chief objection TO
the term dress is that CORRECTLY
1t should be applied to all that Il
worn from head to foot. Wher

or her dress was inappropriata ).
You naturally take II TO mean her
entire apparel, not merely her
gown or frock.
The word robe. which came int
fashion the middle OF the LAST
century in this sense. "a spoken

II is the apparel or kings and
judges. Certainly this wore
hardly fits the sort OF dress that
women wear nowadays. II i'm
plies something rather stately and
flowing.
Gown was revived a the term
for a woman's dress a little after

having been used in much the
same sense at an early period.
However. like robe ii some
times conveys a sense OF dignity
and an emblem Of Office.
Frock somehow seems 10 I'll the

or robe. Originally frock was
applied TO the garment Of a monk.
