Grrr - sorry to ask yet ANOTHER question! But thanks in advance for everyone's replies!

Ok I know this look was really popular on 60s wedding gowns (b/c I tried a bunch on recently LOL!) but what exactly do you call this look?

Unfortunately the leopard print camouflages it (imagine that!) but the front is essentially a sheath, with fitted sides and then the big drape in the back that almost gives the appearance of a cape.

I thought this was just a larger size woman's dress with no shape when I bought it and then when I pulled it out to price it for the shop I noticed how fitted it is! I was delighted and thought I might give it a go since maxi's have been doing so well lately...

Also, keyword suggestions? I think I'm going to have to buy a subtitle for this to explain a bit...

Hi!
That dress is soooo cool!! I have no idea what to call the style but if it was mine the title would go something like this...Vintage 70s Leopard Draped Goddess Maxi Dress
...I'd also add the size if it fits. I love the way it looks, but the front is so much sexier than the back. I was wondering if you couldn't photograph it with a wide belt to cinch in the "cape" in the back. Just a thought!
 
i thought about that too but it goes nearly to the waist in the back so a belt is out. it is much sexier in person and i fear that my photos don't do it justice. It is 2 sizes too big for my model so we had it clipped inside and it was really hard to get the cape to lay properly. :(

Thanks for your keyword help!
 
Ok well then... how would you describe the back of it? Would you use the word cape ?
