"You are selling a real dress."

Translation: Vous vendez une vraie robe.

[danapplegate]

is "vrai" another one of the BAGS adjectives which comes before the noun?

[matt329]

For those wondering: Beauty Age Good/bad Size. I prefer using BANGS (with Numbers included)

[Minituttle]

hmm this is a tricky one. I do not know what i should answer to that to be honest. Yes and no. I think you should just get learn the occurrences. The reason for my response is that we would say : un vrai mythe but une histoire vraie.

I hope this helps a bit.

[adrienne58]

Un vrai mythe - a real myth, une histoire vraie - a true story. Different meaning depending on the adjective's placement.

[billnpatarnold]

I just don't get the sentence - and I've seen it many times - at all. What IS a REAL dress?

[howcheng]

As opposed to a fake dress, of course.

[schergjd]

why not "une robe reelle" (accent over first e in reelle)?

Why "une vraie robe" or "une robe réelle" but not "une robe vraie"?

[labar54]

Can I use "véritable" here ?

[PamSmith5]

I used 'une robe réelle' and it was accepted.

From ny research, before the noun 'elaborate' or 'interesting' would fit better in this context than 'real' (https://french.kwiziq.com/revision/grammar/adjectives-that-change-meaning-according-to-position-vrai-real-true )
