which指代问题

Did we have the right dresses in which to appear before Lady Genmire? We felt very excited and unsure.

谢谢各位老师对我们之前问题解答,像请教一下,上面的句子Which 是指代前面的名词dresses,还是单独作为一个名词,表示什么的意思来用!

谢谢各位老师的帮助!

in which to appear before Lady Genmire

which是关系代词,指代right dresses。这是介词+关系代词+to do不定式结构。这种结构用于正式语体,本质上是定语从句的一种简化形式,即定语从句省略了主语和be。主语通常在前面出现,be+to do be to do结构表示将来时间。所以这个句子与下面定语从句作定语的句子意义是相同的。

Did we have the right dresses in which we are to appear before Lady Genmire?

也可以用情态动词结构替换be to do结构:

Did we have the right dresses in which we should/could appear before Lady Genmire?
