The main purpose was to keep upper garments clean as long as possible since often washing would ruin them (especially corsets, embedded and embroidered clothes).

A chemise is a short, flowing gown that generally has thin straps and an a-line (fitted at the top and flared at the hem) silhouette. Chemises are usually mid to upper thigh length. Chemises are supremely giftable, because they aren't overly revealing (they camouflage tummy, hips and thighs). And (this is the best part!), chemises are sized small, medium, and large, to fit a wide range of sizes. For a sexier chemise choose one made of sheer or embroidered mesh. For a more demure look choose a chemise made of silk or satin and trimmed with lace. View our full selection of Chemises
