deshabille
Casual morning attire
Deshabille is a state of being partly dressed or dressed carelessly—not for public view.
The word comes from French and retains a slightly literary or playful tone: She answered the door in a state of deshabille.
It suggests intimacy or informality rather than indecency.
Also spelled dishabille.
