I've seen this outfit on the net in Asia and certain parts of Europe for the past few months. What do you call this?Obviously worn during the summer months only. I thought it was a dress when I saw a pic(showing front) of it for the first time, but the vids showed it wasn't.

It's just a mini-dress with a slit up the side and a pair of shorts underneath. No biggie. But they should be wearing bikini panties underneath. Those big ol' high-waisted shorts are not that sexy.

It looks like shorts with a long tunic. After the "Gangnam style" video went viral. it became popular in Europe for women to wear a big, poufy baby-doll blouse just long enough to cover the rear, and underneath, "shorts" that looked like underpants. They were shorter than the shorts in the first video. I saw a 50-something European woman wearing that outfit, accompanied by her conventionally-dressed husband, hitting the tourist attractions in my town. Bizarre outfit, especially for someone old enough to be a grandmother.

So the outfit in the OP looks like a new version of that; long top for women, paired with ultra-short shorts.

Interesting how those Korean dancers have European proportions. I guess someone's recruiting tall women. Or maybe some of them have European or American heritage?

Tabard is an old term out of use. That's what it looks like.

The four gals have no European/American heritage. Don't let the blonde and light hair fool you. They are between 5'6"-5'8". I do think the backup dancers were selected to be around the same height for a reason. You seem very observant. How could you tell that they have European proportions from the previous video? Here is a more clearer and zoomed out video to see though.
