How to approach it
Work from the edges inward. Begin by recalling costume-history literature rather than shop terminology: survey volumes, ethnographic atlases and museum catalogues are full of named garments, and each entry there is a candidate. Move through the world region by region in your head, asking what a community's distinctive outfit is called in its own spelling, and prefer the transcription that locals use over a translated label. Test each candidate mentally against the wording of the question: it must be a dress or a complete outfit worn as one, not an accessory, a textile or a hairstyle. Finally, rank your shortlist by obscurity and submit the least familiar name you can defend, because the scoring rewards the deep end of the list rather than the first thing that comes to mind.
Get a hint
Begin at the widest frame: the puzzle accepts an enormous number of entries, so nearly every recognised garment name in the costume literature has a home here.
A little more
Narrow by source type — ethnographic studies, regional dress surveys and museum accession records list thousands of named pieces that never appear in ordinary fashion writing.
One step further
Then push toward the least familiar end: a name recorded in a single locality, written the way its own community spells it, usually outscores anything a general reader could produce unaided.

Why these answers count
The scoring here is unusually flat and unusually deep. Of the 3,518 recorded entries, 3,488 cleared the 60-point bar, and 3,204 of those sat at exactly 85 — a vast middle band of regional and historical garments that the puzzle recognises but most players would never reach. Only 283 answers landed at 60, and those are the obvious, everyday choices that a large share of players type first; the score reflects how common the guess is, so the familiar picks earn least. Just one entry reached 100: Letty Lynton dress, an obscure screen-costume name that almost nobody produces unaided. The lesson is visible in the sample: Aari Kashida saree, Abho and Abkhaz dress all score 85, not because they are famous but because they are specific and rarely attempted. Rarity, not correctness, separates the bands, so the winning move is a real named garment from the far end of the costume literature.
