Did you know…? What we know today as the alluring chemise started off in the middle ages when women wore a simple undergarment beneath their robes, known as a “shift”. These items today have changed somewhat from their original practical purposes and
in fact the original “shifts” are the ancestor of all light and simple tops worn under clothes, including the humble T-shit! Nowadays of course, we just mean a chemise to be a loose-fitting women’s top, like a long night-shirt but usually
cut more to the shape of the body. Whereas you’ll find babydolls quite similar in some ways, they tend to flow more, or hang, and usually stop a little shorter. The chemise is designed to follow the line of the figure,
making them extremely exciting, and more like a dress designed for the bedroom. Our beautiful range includes a lot of “charmeuse” (silk woven with a sheen) which looks and feels like luxury.
