Not tied to a specific period: Can be found in 1560s English kirtle or 1400s Houpelande, and like everyone else, 13th - 17th Century Byzantine, a Greek chiton when hot... but that's an Ansteorra thing...

In Case of Court:

Due to anxiety, advanced warning of being called into court is greatly appreciated: Time to prepare and be presentable to the Royal Presence. If specific expectations are appropriate, warning would be so very helpful.
