There is no objection to wearing the aforementioned dress as long as it is among women, because the 'awrah (intimate parts) of a woman in front of another Muslim woman is what is between the navel and the knee, as Al-Baghawi mentioned in his interpretation of the verse: "Or their women" (Quran 24:31), meaning that it is permissible for a woman to look at the body of another woman except for what is between the navel and the knee, similar to a man.
