About: Bedgown

An Entity of Type: person, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A bedgown (sometimes bed gown, bedjacket or shortgown) is an article of women's clothing for the upper body, usually thigh-length and wrapping or tying in front. Bedgowns of lightweight printed cotton fabric were fashionable at-home morning wear in the 18th century. Over time, bedgowns (also called in this context shortgowns) became the staple upper garment of British and American female working-class street wear from the 18th to early 19th centuries, worn over petticoats and often topped with an apron. Made of sturdy cotton, linen, wool or linsey-woolsey, these bedgowns were simply cut to a T-shaped pattern, and were worn overlapped in front or with the front skirts cutaway. The term "bed gown" to describe this item of clothing was used as late as 1876.

  • A bedgown (sometimes bed gown, bedjacket or shortgown) is an article of women's clothing for the upper body, usually thigh-length and wrapping or tying in front. Bedgowns of lightweight printed cotton fabric were fashionable at-home morning wear in the 18th century. Over time, bedgowns (also called in this context shortgowns) became the staple upper garment of British and American female working-class street wear from the 18th to early 19th centuries, worn over petticoats and often topped with an apron. Made of sturdy cotton, linen, wool or linsey-woolsey, these bedgowns were simply cut to a T-shaped pattern, and were worn overlapped in front or with the front skirts cutaway. The term "bed gown" to describe this item of clothing was used as late as 1876. In the Welsh spelling betgwn, the bedgown is part of traditional Welsh costume. Bedgowns lingered as fashion garments into the mid-20th century, usually under the newer name bedjackets, in the form of short robes or wrappers worn over a nightgown or negligee for warmth and modesty while sitting up in bed for breakfast, reading, or similar pursuits. They had mostly fallen out of fashion by the 1960s. (en)
  • Le juste était une pièce du vêtement du XVIIIe siècle. C'est une veste qui était uniquement portée par les paysans et paysannes. Extrêmement simple, le juste était taillé d'une seule pièce et seulement cousu sur les côtés. Ces coutures s'arrêtaient à la taille, laissant le bas du juste ouvert pour former des basques, et faciliter l'aisance et le mouvement pour le travail manuel. C'est un vêtement qui s'est beaucoup exporté au Canada et aux États-Unis. Très usitées et généralement transformées plusieurs fois en divers vêtements pour une question d'économie, très peu de ces vestes ont été conservées. Les rares exemplaires existants sont américains : il s'agit en général de justes (ou de mantelets, selon l'appellation canadienne) quakers, appelés short gowns. (fr)
