| 释义 |
A tea gown or tea-gown is a woman's dress for informal entertaining at home. These dresses, which became popular around the mid-19th century, are characterized by unstructured lines and light fabrics. Early tea gowns were a European development influenced by Asian clothing and historical approach from the 18th century which led to the renaissance time period of long and flowing sleeves.[1][2] Part of this European sense of fashion came from the Japanese kimono which was worn by Japanese women during a wedding or any formal ceremonies.[3] Tea gowns were intended to be worn without a corset or assistance from the maid; however, elegance always came first.[4] During the 19th century, it was not appropriate for women to be seen in public wearing a tea gown.[4] They were intended to be worn indoors with family and close friends during a dinner party.[4][5] Although tea gowns were meant for midday wear, they could be worn into the evening.[5] Women started wearing tea gowns in the evening for dinner or certain events at home with close friends and family by 1900.[5] Tea gowns intended for day wear usually had high necks, while evening tea gowns had lower necks.[5] Notes1. ^Takeda and Spilker (2010), p. 112 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://janeaustensworld.wordpress.com/2012/02/05/downtown-abbey-season-2-teagowns-and-relaxation/ |title=Downton Abbey Season 2: Teagowns and relaxation |author=Vic |accessdate=February 5, 2012 |website=Jane Austen's World}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://traveltips.usatoday.com/japanese-kimono-history-13616.html |title=Japanese Kimono History |website=USA TODAY |last=Favors |first=LaTasha}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=http://thedreamstress.com/2012/06/terminology-what-is-a-tea-gown/ |title=Terminology: What is a tea gown? |date=June 14, 2012 |website=The Dreamstress}} 5. ^1 2 3 {{cite book |last1=Post |first1=Emily |title=Etiquette in society, in business, in politics and at home |date=1922 |publisher=Funk & Wagnalls Company |url=http://www.bartleby.com/95/33.html |chapter=Dress}} References{{commons category|Tea gowns}}
