Reference: tailleur

Reference information:
If this is high fashion, it would be better to leave the original term, as that is quite normal in English haute couture.

Example sentence(s):
  • What is this strange conundrum whereby those who can actually afford exquisite Galliano tailleurs and Dolce dresses eschew them in favour of "smart" outfits featuring big, gilt buttons by non-fashion designers like "Emma Somerset French Dressing"?
