A house dress is a type of simple dress worn informally at home for household chores or for quick errands.[1] The term originated in the late nineteenth century to describe at-home garments designed for maximum practicality and usually made from washable fabrics. It is directly descended from the Mother Hubbard dress.[2] House dresses are also known as dusters in American and Philippine English, a term which also encompasses the muumuu.[3][4] Such dresses were a necessary part of the housewife's wardrobe in the early twentieth century and could be widely purchased through mail-order catalogues.[1] The house dress remains a contemporary and frequently worn garment in some parts of the world.[citation needed]
