Trousseau is an outfit of clothing, household linen, etc. for a bride.
The word comes from the Old French trousse meaning "bundle", which was used to describe a bundle of keys in 1200. Only in 1800's that it became to mean the clothes and linen of a bride.
So when a woman is about to marry, her relatives and friends have to present her a varied trousseau to choose from for her wedding? Is that it?
