Talk:Chemise

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Origin of smock-frock?

I have seen sources that suggest the heavy linen smock-frock evolved from the chemise, but I suspect the medieval frock (an outer garment) is a more likely source. Do we have any scholarly research to back this up one way or the other? PKM 01:14, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
