älsklingsurringning klänning


Explanation:
literal translation as it is in English. Swedish doesn't have a separate word for "gown" and uses the generic word for dress "klänning".....good translators will use context to figure out the meaning of the word.

disagree  Sven Petersson: The word "älsklingsurringning" does not communicate anything to a Swedish reader. It yields NIL Google hits! The expression "älsklingsurringning klänning" is grammatically incorrect.

  ->  sweetheart urringnen may work then. Do you have a better suggestion to replace the grammatically incorrect one that yields NIL Google hits then?
