      in dress design, style of women's clothing characterized by garments that are closely fitted to the waistline, which is unbroken by a seam. The princess style first was introduced in 1848 but was little worn until the 1860s.

      At that time, the princess gown was made of fitted sections of material, worn over a crinoline and flared out at the hem. The princess style continued to be worn through the 20th century with greater or lesser popularity according to the fashion.
