Also 8 pelorine, 8–9 pelerin.
[a. F. pèlerine, transferred use of fem. of pèlerin pilgrim = pilgrim's mantle or cape.]
a. A name applied from time to time to various fashions of mantles or capes worn by women; in nineteenth century use, a long narrow cape or tippet, with ends coming down to a point in front, usually of lace or silk, or of the material of the dress.
The name appears to have been in vogue 1740–50 (it was obsolete to Fielding in 1752); again about 1764; also 1825–35, 1855–68, 1884–1904; the shape or material being probably more or less new each time.
