"This dress is too long!"

Translation: 这条裙子太长了！

[FishTsao]

dress is 洋裝 or 連身裙 or 連衣裙，裙子 means skirt

[Chris349250]

Why does this sentence require the measure word 条？We are not addressing a. quantity. It wouldn't be correct to write 你的条裙子 would it? So why say 这条裙子？

[LeiFeiRalf]

"this" is 这+mw. Normally you might not think about it if you use 这个, but maybe think of it as 这(一)个 "this one ..."
