I wonder if they might be for women who are breastfeeding? You could have
access quickly, which was necessary for me, and also modesty. What do you think?

Definitely not a clothing expert, either, but it certainly makes sense to me.
Consultants far wiser than I have documented them as garments specifically worn
by women.

My immediate reaction to the pictures (thanks!!!), was... hmm, look at the
discolorations, maybe hard-used... reminds me of the idea of a pinafore or
apron, for the top half of the body!
I had descriptions from both grandmothers, I think, of their childhood
wardrobes, of one dress for
I think that if they were adult pinafores or aprons they would close in the
back, not the front. An apron opened down the front wouldn't be much
protection to clothing, I would think.
Other than that, I can't give any insights to what you have.
