vestidos (cortos)


Explanation:
Es otra forma de denominar a los vestidos normalmente cortos para diferenciarlos de los "gowns" (vestidos largos). En este contexto, yo llamaría "vestidos" a los tres y los diferenciaría por los adjetivos que los acompañan.

agree  Esmeralda Gómez: Cuando estudié inglés, "frock" tenía una connotación de vestido "informal", o de poco precio, en comparación con un "vestido". En España serían "batas" o "batitas", pero en la actualidad no creo que se use.
