English Definitions:
jumper, pinafore, pinny (noun)
a sleeveless dress resembling an apron; worn over other clothing
pinafore (Noun)
A sleeveless dress, often similar to an apron, generally worn over other clothes. Most often worn by young girls as an overdress.
Pinafore
A pinafore is a sleeveless garment worn as an apron. Pinafores may be worn by girls as a decorative garment and by both girls and women as a protective apron. A related term is pinafore dress, which is British English for what in American English is known as a jumper dress, i.e. a sleeveless dress intended to be worn over a top or blouse. A key difference between a pinafore and a jumper dress is that the pinafore is open in the back. In informal British usage however, a pinafore dress is sometimes referred to as simply a pinafore, which can lead to confusion. The name reflects that the pinafore was formerly pinned to the front of a dress. The pinafore had no buttons, was simply "pinned on the front" which led to the term "pinafore."

Nevertheless, this has led some authors to use the term "pinafore apron", although this is redundant as pinafore alone implies an apron. The name reflects the pinafore having formerly pinned (pin) to the front (afore) of a dress. The pinafore had no buttons and was simply "pinned on the front".
