A peignoir (pronounced: [pɛ.ɲwaːʁ]) is a long outer garment for women which is frequently sheer and made of chiffon or another translucent fabric. The word comes from French peigner to comb the hair (from Latin pectināre from pecten pectin- comb) describing a garment worn while brushing one’s hair originally referring to a dressing gown or bathrobe.
