Brit-Speak: clothing

I was wondering if any of you wonderful listies could answer some questions I 
have about 'Brit-speak", especially concerning clothing.  In the HP books and 
in HP fanfics (which I, unfortunately, have become helplessly addicted to), 
there are lots of references to clothing that I really don't understand, such as 
"jumper," "dressing gown," "nightdress."  I'm not sure if it's because I'm an 
American or if I'm just a little slow on the uptake.  Help?
