Шаблон:Short description The cotte (or cote) was a medieval outer garment, a long sleeved shift, or tunic, usually girded, and worn by men and women. In medieval texts, it was used to translate tunica or chiton. Synonyms included tunic or gown. It was worn over a shirt (chemise), and a sleeveless surcote could be worn over it. By the sixteenth century, it had become a woman's undergarment. By the seventeenth century, it split into an upper 'corps' and a lower 'cotte', or skirt, amongst the poorer classes.[1][2]

In modern French, it survives in the expression Шаблон:Lang ("chainmail"). The Old French Шаблон:Lang also gave rise to the word Шаблон:Lang ("cotillion", a dance). Petticoat is another indirect descendant of Шаблон:Lang.
