Through Clothing, Cotton and United Kingdom

In the Welsh spelling betgwn, the bedgown is part of traditional Welsh costume.

Bedgowns lingered as fashion garments into the mid-20th century, usually under the newer name bedjackets, in the form of short robes or wrappers worn over a nightgown or negligee for warmth and modesty while sitting up in bed for breakfast, reading, or similar pursuits. They had mostly fallen out of fashion by the 1960s.
