 * It's definitely in the same vein. DonnanZ (talk) 14:35, 1 October 2023 (UTC)


 * I'm leaning towards keep. Most of its usage relates to a period that finished around a century ago. A well-gowned woman was usually well-to-do, and could afford fine gowns. DonnanZ (talk) 09:43, 3 October 2023 (UTC)


 * But the definition says nothing about being well-to-do, it just says "wearing a fine gown". You're considering a definition in your own head that isn't in our entry at all. That's not how to handle an RFV. Equinox ◑ 14:37, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
