Notes to answerer
Asker: I was hoping that "shift" or "shift dress" would work, too, and, in fact, I'd already tried to confirm the term. Problem is, one of the criteria for a "robe-housse" is that it has to have long sleeves, and shifts, traditionally, have been short-sleeved or sleeveless. The pictures of the ones on the Nordstrom site bear that out.

1 hr confidence: peer agreement (net): +3 long-sleeved shift dress
Explanation: If your text specifies long sleeves, then you can add it to your description to differentiate this dress from others.
Example sentence(s):- Topshop have gone for a stylish long sleeved shift dress as seen all over the catwalks
