silk gown
Smooth formal attire
A silk gown is a formal robe or dress made of silk.
The term most often appears in British legal contexts, where taking silk or being appointed silk means becoming a Queen's (or King's) Counsel—a senior barrister entitled to wear a silk gown in court rather than the junior barrister's stuff gown.
