A gown, from medieval Latin gunna, is a usually loose outer garment from knee- to full-length worn by men and women in Europe from the early Middle Ages to the 17th century, and continuing today in certain professions; later, gown was applied to any full-length woman's garment consisting of a bodice and attached skirt. A long, loosely-fitted gown called a Banyan was worn by men in the 18th century as an informal coat.

A gown is worn by both Wonder and Smurfette whenever there is a special occasion taking place in the village, such as birthdays, weddings or anniversaries. It first appeared in the story "Hero's Hidden Talent", worn by Wonder when she sang a song to her fellow Smurfs. A gown was also worn by Smurfette for when she sang her song for the talent show, although, before Smurfette sang her song, she found herself slightly embarrassed since she found her fellow Smurfs gawking at her, since her gown was slightly revealing at the top. She just ignored them and went ahead and sang her song.
