bed-jacket
Seated sleepwear topper
A bed-jacket is a light, loose-fitting garment worn over nightclothes while sitting up in bed, typically for warmth or modesty.
Popular in the early to mid-20th century, bed-jackets were often made of soft fabrics like wool, silk, or quilted material and sometimes trimmed with lace or ribbon.
They were especially common in hospitals and convalescent settings.
