I�d call it a smock, too. Maybe even a paint(ing) smock. If you choose "images" on google or bing and type in "paint smock", you�ll get a number of photos that look a lot like the one you posted.
You might be interested in this recent discussion thread about almost the same topic (smock, pinafore, apron, overalls, etc.): http://www.eslprintables.com/forum/topic.asp?id=22111

This is one definition. A pinafore (colloquially pinny in British English) is a sleeveless garment worn as an apron Pinafores are often confused with smocks. Some languages do not differentiate between these different garments. The pinafore differs from a smock in that it does not have sleeves and there is no back to the bodice. Smocks have both sleeves and a full bodice, both front and back.Enjoy. |

Hi everybody, I know like pinafore this: A pinafore is a full apron with two holes for the arms that is tied or buttoned in the back, for that it�s my confusion because our "baby" for spanish people is the same than smock, sorry. It�s true that each country is a different world. |
