French term

manteau de poupée

French to English Other Textiles / Clothing / Fashion
Full phrase: "manteau de poupée bleu layette et robe manteau en tweed"
The context is an article about a luxury fashion show, the rest of the paragraph is a list of pieces such as this one. I'm trying to understand what kind of coat this is and if a 'manteau poupée' (or 'poupée coat'/'baby doll coat'?) designates a particular kind of coat, and if it's necessarily a fur coat: e.g.

and
http://www.lyst.com/clothing/apc-new-poupee-fur-coat-marron/

As far as I can tell the clothes modelled are for women, not children (or dolls!).

Any help regarding a decent term in English would be much appreciated!

babydoll coat

I guess it is similar in length and cut to a babydoll dress?

agree Jocelyne Cuenin : for baby doll look, see Marianne Faithfull-type early 70's, pastel colours... http://destinationkors.michaelkors.com/runway/lookbooks/fall...
