A vlieger is a type of sleeveless over-gown or cape worn by women in the late 16th and early 17th centuries.[1] Variations with short sleeves or high shoulder rolls are known.[2] Sometimes sleeves were attached with aiglets, and often slits were made to allow belts or the hands to pass through.[3]
In the Netherlands the vlieger was often worn with a millstone collar (a wide starched ruff).[1] The vlieger was always worn with a skirt with a fardegalijn. In cold weather it could be buttoned shut, though the Spanish version, called a "ropa" could only be closed at the neck.
The Spanish version was called a "ropa" and the French version was called a "marlotte".[4]
