negligee
Boudoir sleeping garment
A negligee is a woman's lightweight, often sheer dressing gown or nightgown, typically worn in the bedroom and designed to be alluring rather than practical.
The word carries connotations of intimacy and seduction: She answered the door in a silk negligee.
Sometimes spelled négligée, retaining the French accent marks.
