shift dress

Hohendahl textile dictionary gives this for Hängerkleid (which seem to be the same thing)

Also states "sack dress" and "loose-fitting dress"

I think the "-chen" part means that it could be a child's shift dress

Low confidence on the "child's" part, high confidence on the "shift dress"
