Neither. I'd tag this green_dress, white_dress, multicolored_dress and corset.

sorry to bump this. just going to verify if leafa's dress should be tagged as showgirl_skirt or overskirt. the former is used only once in post #1255721 and the latter not even once yet. thanks.

@Schrobby: +1 for showgirl_skirt. The explanation...

2012-07-21T06:52:44-04:00

+1 for showgirl_skirt. The explanation "Zeigfeld Follies showgirls started this in the late 19th century" could go to the wiki.

Not a hakama. The whole point of a hakama is to hide the wearer's stance and feet, so it has to be a solid skirt. Also I would rather not lump something like post #613160 with examples in the opening post.

I would rather a single tag for both "over-skirt" and "crotch-less-skirt" cases (even if "overskirt" rings well).

I'm in favour of open-front/back_skirt/dress/pants(?), as well as using overskirt for what is describes.

@Arrei: So deciding whether to use this or waist_cape...

2012-06-03T11:41:59-04:00

So deciding whether to use this or waist_cape will have to be judged case by case for each image, depending on if the clothing looks like it's being used as a cape or not.

And overskirt only applies when worn over another skirt or pants.

If half-skirt is the applicable tag (again, unsure if open front skirts can be called half-skirts) then we may need some other tags to specify which side the skirt opens on.

If we don't go with that, then we could simply use either open-front_skirt or frontless_skirt. I'm leaning towards the latter because I think "open-front" also describes skirts with a slit in front and not just skirts that lack the front.

What about waist cape? Capes don't cover the front like cloaks do, and it only goes from the waist down.

I'd be more inclined to call them a skirt, especially since a lot of the examples given here share a frilly skirt look.

Depending on what's agreed upon, should they be separated into *_skirt and *_dress?

With this tag, it would probably be better to use it to cover both skirts and the skirts of dresses and not split it.

@titaniachkt: open-front_skirt / overskirt / half-skirt...

2012-06-03T05:06:22-04:00

open-front_skirt / overskirt / half-skirt sounds good, especially since the latter seems to already be in use

waist_cape as well, though it gives the impression of a cape

Depending on what's agreed upon, should they be separated into *_skirt and *_dress?

What about waist cape? Capes don't cover the front like cloaks do, and it only goes from the waist down.

2012-06-02T21:36:25-04:00

Just to throw out some more name ideas, could also maybe call it a no_front_skirt or a frontless_skirt (apparently frontless' archaic definition is "shameless," so it'd also be a "shameless skirt").

@Arrei: Hmm, doesn't a half-skirt specifically refer to...

2012-06-02T17:42:57-04:00

Hmm, doesn't a half-skirt specifically refer to skirts missing either the left or right side, not the front?

Or am I wrong and the term also applies to any skirt missing any portion, be it front, left, or whatever?

2012-06-02T17:23:31-04:00

That might fit for some of them, like post #1094381. Those seem more like waist capes than skirts of any sort.

But I don't think it'd fit for any of the ones that look just like a skirt but with the front removed.

@parasol: waist_cape?

2012-06-02T14:54:05-04:00

Hmm... it'd help a lot if there were an established term for that specific article of clothing. I think normally "overskirt" applies to any skirt worn over other clothing, not necessarily only the ones with open fronts?

Maybe we should go with open-front_skirt then?

2012-06-02T14:17:40-04:00

My own intentions with overskirt is that it's worn over another layer, such as a skirt or pants. I'd think these are just open-front skirts.

Overskirt seems right, but perhaps it needs a wiki so people know what it means?
