Hooverette

noun1

1. •
   A simple housedress with robe-style sash and wrap front, worn especially in United States in the 1930s and 1940s, with one section overlapping another; when dirty, the overlap could be reversed so a clean section was on top again, reducing laundry.

   • The Hooverette can be worn as a dress or as an apron. — 1932
