DOLMAN (from Turk. dol¢mkn)  , originally a long and loose garment left unfastened in front, and with narrow sleeves . It is worn generally by the Turks, and is not unlike a cassock in shape . The name was given to the uniform jacket, worn by hussars, and slung from the shoulders with the sleeves hanging loose; and it is also used for a similar garment worn by ladies, with wide cape- like arrangements instead of sleeves .
