C’est une petite robe noire qui a croisé une marinière, alors elle est toute en rayures, mais pas n’importe lesquelles. Elle alterne le voile, la maille et le lurex, cela lui donne un petit air de fête plutôt chic. C’est bien connu, on est toujours très élégant dans la marine.

: Or "little black dress crossed with a sailor shirt" or even "little black dress crossed with a mariniere." The FR word is sometimes used in EN. http://www.realsimple.com/beauty-fashion/clothing/sweaters-t...
