Italian term

fianchi calati

Italian to English Other Textiles / Clothing / Fashion
I was hoping that someone could tell me it "dropped sides" is an appropriate translation for "fianchi calati".

It is used in the context of a dress

Abito con fianchi calati che arrivano davanti

Thanks for any help you can give.
