The Canezou (aka Canezou-fichu) c. 1835 is a type of clothing generally worn alongside a corsage.Canezous were originally short jackets similar to spencers. Over time they evolved into a sleeveless sideless form which was called a fichu-canezou. It was almost always tucked into a belt and was made of white material.The name Canezou is a corruption of the French term Quinze Août meaning 15 August.
