Bürett

Bürett is a term sometimes used to refer to a type of garment or accessory, particularly in historical fashion contexts. It generally describes a short, often sleeveless, jacket or bodice that was worn over other clothing. The exact form and function of a bürett could vary significantly depending on the era and regional fashion trends. In some instances, it might have been a decorative outer layer, while in others, it could have provided additional warmth or served a practical purpose.

Historically, similar garments existed across various European cultures. These could be made from different materials, including wool, silk, or linen, and were often embellished with embroidery, lace, or other decorative elements. The length and cut of a bürett would also differ, with some reaching the waist and others extending slightly lower. The term itself is not widely common in modern fashion terminology, and its usage is more likely to be encountered in specialized discussions of historical costume or textiles. Its precise definition can sometimes be fluid, reflecting the diverse array of short outer garments that have been part of sartorial history.
