A dress is a garment consisting of a skirt combined with a top (usually of the same material) to make one item that covers a large part of the body. It may have long or short sleeves or be sleeveless. It usually covers the shoulders or has shoulder straps to help keep it up.
In modern western societies it is considered an exclusively female garment. It is therefore often preferred to trousers by transvestites and cross-dressers. Conversely, it may be avoided by butch females.
Like other garments, it can be made of fetish materials such as leather, rubber and PVC.
A dress with a very short skirt part is called a mini-dress.
