Origin:
The term "negligee" first appeared in the mid-17th century in France, referring to a loose dressing gown worn by women in the morning. It was typically made of fine fabrics such as silk or muslin and decorated with lace or embroidery.
Over time, the negligee evolved into a more elaborate garment that was worn as a nightgown. It became popular among wealthy and fashionable women as a way to display their luxury and femininity.
In the 20th century, the negligee became more widely available and affordable and was worn by women of all social classes. It remained popular as a nightgown and for lingerie purposes.
Today, the term "negligee" can still refer to a traditional nightgown, but it is also used more broadly to describe any sheer or lacy sleepwear worn by women.
