smock
Loose protective overgarment
A smock is a loose-fitting outer garment worn to protect clothing underneath, typically while doing messy work like painting or gardening.
Historically, smocks were simple linen garments worn by rural workers and later became associated with artists' studios.
The term also applies to loose, decorative blouses or dresses, especially those with smocking—a technique of gathering fabric into decorative pleats.
