house dress
Casual domestic garment
A house dress is a simple, inexpensive dress worn for housework and casual wear at home.
The style typically features easy-on construction—buttons or snaps down the front, loose fit, washable fabric.
House dresses were standard everyday wear for American women through the mid-20th century: She changed into a house dress after work.
The term now sounds dated, as casual home clothing has shifted to pants and activewear.
