I had a quick look on http://www.thefreedictionary.com/guimpe and got 1. guimpe - a piece of starched cloth covering the shoulders of a nun's habitpiece of cloth, piece of material - a piece of fabric 2. guimpe - a short blouse with sleeves that is worn under a jumper or pinafore dressblouse - a top worn by women I also got a hit for a definition that it was jorge, is a cloth some nuns wear.
