A loose, flowing woman's garment or robe worn in the 17th and 18th centuries, similar to a negligee or dressing gown.
From French cimar, possibly derived from Spanish or Arabic origins. The garment became popular in Europe during the Renaissance and was particularly fashionable among wealthy women as an informal dress.
This word captures a specific moment in fashion history—when women finally got comfy clothes that weren't skin-tight corsets! The cymar was basically the 1700s version of loungewear.
