Etymology
Japanese
Ki-ra (きら): An abbreviation of きらきら, meaning Glitter, Sparkle, Twinkle, or Glisten. The hiragana writing can also refer to 綺羅, which means fine clothes (hence describing the exquisite gown). This serves as an adjective for パール.
Pāru (パール): The Katakana transliteration of an English word Pearl, the highlight of the gown. Combined with きら, it describes the pearls sparkling.
Doresu (ドレス): The Katakana transliteration of an English word Dress, which solely describes one-piece in another term.
Taiwanese Mandarin
Shǎn Liàng Zhēn Zhū (閃亮珍珠): 閃亮 is an adjective meaning Shiny, Sparkly, or any other related synonyms while 珍珠 is a noun that is equivalent to the English word Pearl. This simply refers to the sparkly pearls on the dress.
閃亮 means Shiny/Sparkly/Flare/Twinkle/Glisten and serves as an adjective to 珍珠, whose English equivalent is Pearl. 晚禮服 is an attributive adjective to specifically mean Evening/Night (Formal) Dress.
Wǎn Lǐ Fú (晚禮服): A term for Evening Dress or Party Dress, the latter makes more sense due to its overly refined look.
English
Sparkly Pearl Dress: Sparkly is translated from its original counterpart.
Tips
Its' title and its' design give it away that this is only recommended at the Ball stage. So, only use it at that one stage. If it used at another stage, expect your score to be pretty low.
