"An overdress or coat dress, the pelisse fit relatively close to the figure (though not tight) and was styled along the same high-waisted lines as the dress of the day. Pelisses were often lined or edged with fur and, in fashionable circles, more or less replaced the fur-lined cloaks of the earlier periods."

So lovely! Perhaps I should knit a pelisse with a mohair lined collar ;o) Thanks for sharing, I love this sort of tidbit!
