What is A Chemise?
A chemise is an elegant and strappy nightdress.
Before we continue, it’s important to clear up a little confusion on the definition front. A chemise used to solely refer to a petticoat slip. That’s a garment that was worn underneath clothes to create a smooth silhouette, and given the central heating status in the old days – to provide an extra warm layer.
In more modern times, a chemise is an elegant and strappy nightdress. Despite their old fashioned name, they can be figure flattering and seductive.
The soft drape of the fabric glides over your figure, creating a very pleasing shape. This type of nightdress will not cling in all the wrong places.
If you wear one of these nightdresses in a deliciously soft fabric such as satin or silk, they will feel as good as they look. This makes them an ideal choice for a romantic evening sipping wine by the fire for those of us who prefer a more elegant and low key seduction style.
