peignoir
Sheer dressing gown
A peignoir is a woman's light dressing gown or robe, typically sheer or loosely flowing, worn over a nightgown.
The word suggests something more elegant or seductive than an ordinary bathrobe: She answered the door in a silk peignoir.
The term is somewhat old-fashioned, appearing more often in romantic fiction than everyday speech.
