gymslip
Pleated school dress
A gymslip is a sleeveless tunic worn as part of a school uniform by girls, especially in British schools.
It typically has a pleated skirt portion and is worn over a blouse.
The garment carries connotations of schoolgirl innocence and youth, sometimes invoked nostalgically or fetishistically: gymslip fantasies.
