A smock is a woman's undergarment (the men's equivalent is a shirt); usually white linen, though there are a few descriptions of silk smocks (an empress in The Seven Sages of Rome, l. 460; Largesse in The Romaunt of the Rose, Fragment A, l. 1195), these are hardly commonplace sorts of smocks. (Other Middle English words for this undergarment include the words for men's undergarments, including "shirt" or "sark."
