I'm translating an article about a kind of blouse called a Matinee (european) which was worn around the house during the 1800s and early 1900s. I can find info on "Morning gowns", 'house dresses' and the like but nothing about what this blouse could be called in english. Anyone have any ideas? Receiving blouse? I don't have any fashion history at all and a couple of hours in the library this morning turned up empty as did an internet search. Any help is appreciated! :-)) Jeanine in Canada p.s. here's a pic:
