négligé
Revealing bedroom garment
A négligé is a woman's lightweight, often sheer dressing gown or robe, typically made of silk, satin, or lace and worn over a nightgown.
The garment suggests intimacy and is associated with the bedroom or boudoir rather than public spaces.
She answered the door in a silk négligé.
The word, borrowed from French, carries connotations of allure and sensuality, making it a staple of romantic fiction and lingerie marketing.
