smocks

Art class attire

Smocks are loose, lightweight outer garments worn to protect clothing underneath.

Artists wear smocks while painting; children wear them during messy activities.

Historically, smocks were the simple linen garments worn by farm laborers.

Smocking is a decorative technique of gathered stitching, originally used on the yokes of such garments.
