Russian term or phrase: шлафрок
Нужен не столько художественный перевод, сколько сам термин - роскошный шелковый или бархатный халат, в котором было принято принимать гостей или, скажем, курить сигары... Единственный вариант, который приходит в голову - dressing gown, но несколько смущает многозначность. Smocking jacket, боюсь, тоже не подходит, поскольку это все-таки скорее пиджак. Буду признательна за помощь.

Может, прямо само немецкое слово использовать? Оно мелькает и в английских текстах.

Наташа, давненько вас не было видно! С возвращением!
