Spanish term or phrase: traje de un solo corte
Hello. From a magazine article about spring collections for women:

"Gabardinas, vestidos a capas, mucho short, pantalones rectos, trajes de un solo corte o sacos trench son la opción de XXX para estos meses."

XXX is the fashion label.

Thanks for your help :)

Diccionario Oxford

Una de las acepciones de "traje" es "dress" y "corte" significa "length" cuando se usa con "tela"

jumpsuit/catsuit


Explanation:
Hi Simon,
I've been mulling over this one for a few minutes. This might be totally off the mark, but I thought of "single-breasted", as opposed to "double-breasted", because a single-breasted jacket just has one row of buttons, but then I saw Emma's entry and I though of a catsuit or jumpsuit, because that's a garment completely cut from one piece of fabric, as opposed to a separate top and trousers. Perhaps you could ask for an illustration? that might really clarify what the text is really referring to.
good luck :)

Also, the fact that this is "traje" suggests that it's some sort of suit, rather than a dress.
