Jacket dress
A jacket dress consists of a combination of a dress with a matching jacket. The jacket dress is a diminutive of Jack dress . This is used colloquially when the jacket is a little shorter, i.e. more of a jacket. In Europe , it was especially fashionable in the 1930s and 1950s.
Historical forerunners were the Caraco jacket type , widespread in the 18th century , the lap waist and the chemisette at the time of the crinoline .
The jacket dress is also a typical work or work clothing, since the jacket dress provides the necessary freedom of movement and on warm days offers the opportunity to take off the jacket and still be appropriately dressed. In the 20th century, it was used by flight attendants and officers of the Deutsche Bundespost, for example.
The Kölschrock band BAP immortalized the jacket dress in the song Saach, what it just happens as a symbol of the " Bussi-Bussi-Gesellschaft " - in the second verse it says about a woman who has recently moved in "better" circles:
“Op dinger Täsch says: MCM.
Are you running demnähx mem poodle romming,
Em jacket dress like 'n Lottofee,
Met Bussi do un Bussi he?
Ahn wat for Köpp do you have fun now?
Stemmp, you would have given me that.
Okay, vun me uss, Frollein vun un zo,
I wish you a nice season with
this gigolo. "
“Your bag says: MCM.
Will you be walking around with 'a poodle' soon,
in a jacket dress like a lottery fairy,
with kissing there and kissing here?
What kind of heads are you having fun on now?
Right, you would have missed that with me.
Okay, as far as I'm concerned, Miss "from and to",
I wish you a nice season
with your gigolo. "
