Bonjour,
Il s'agit d'un catalogue de vente par correspondance de robes de soirée.
J'ai du mal à trouver deux mots en français, pour moi gown = robe de soirée mais un peu plus loin dans le texte on parle de "evening dresses". Quelle est la différence alors entre "gown" et "evening dress" ? Auriez-vous des suggestions? Merci!

Je pense que dress et gown se traduisent tous les deux par le mot robe...

après avoir consulté divers sites de vente, je n'ai pas bien saisi la différence, mais c'est peut-être une solution pour différencier dresses and gowns.

robes longues vs robes courtes ?
The difference between a gown and a dress is very simple. The gown is a long length dress whether a dress is much shorter (knee length).
