négligée
Flimsy bedroom garment
A négligée is a woman's light, flowing dressing gown, typically made of sheer or delicate fabric like silk or chiffon.
The garment suggests intimacy and is often worn in the bedroom: She answered the door in a négligée.
The word comes from French, meaning neglected or carelessly dressed—implying informal attire.
Also spelled negligee.
