Name of 1660s Dutch Jacket?

I’m having trouble finding a name for this style of house jacket, presumably from the 1660s Netherlands. Does this style of indoor attire have a name? Two clear are examples are “Woman Holding a Balance” by Johannes Vermeer and housed at the National Gallery of Art (https://www.nga.gov/artworks/1236-woman-holding-balance) and Young Woman With a Pearl Necklace, housed at the Gemäldegalerie (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jan\_Vermeer\_van\_Delft\_-\_Young\_Woman\_with\_a\_Pearl\_Necklace\_-\_Google\_Art\_Project.jpg)

Has anyone heard of a magazine called Fashion Display?

I'm trying to track down a magazine called Fashion Display. I'm not even 100% sure whether it is real, but if it is then it'd be a fairly old magazine (from back in the late-19th and early-20th centuries). The name could be an abbreviation of a longer magazine title.
