There's a certain amount of selection error in play. The housecoats that most got seen on film were the ones that couldn't be backlit into impropriety and those tended towards very 'mature' women.
I suspect your loungers are what I'd call a shift, a sleeveless slipover that might brush the knees.
Last night I was watching an educational film and it had a housedress, which is a step up from a shift, in that it had treatments like ruffles and was built with apron concerns in mind. A small overall print for that 'small stains won't be noticeable, can more beets.'
