bed jacket
Waist-length morning coat
A bed jacket is a lightweight, short jacket or wrap worn over nightclothes while sitting up in bed, typically for warmth or modesty.
Popular in the early to mid-twentieth century, bed jackets were often made of soft, decorative fabrics like silk or quilted cotton and featured loose sleeves for comfort.
They were especially common in hospitals and during convalescence.
