Chemises Just Adorable and Sexy Lingerie at It’s Best

Chemises are a very sexy piece of lingerie that has quite a history. Today’s chemises can be naughty and exciting. Back in the day, however, chemises were simply used as an undergarment. They were worn underneath clothes to keep the outer clothes from getting dirty. Today, we use chemises as sexy pieces of lingerie. We still get dirt in them, just in a fun way!

 

Chemises have also been called “shifts” and “smocks” and have undergone quite a transformation in the centuries they’ve been around.  They date all the way back to the Middle Ages, in fact, when they were worn underneath regular outer clothing.  At the time, clothing was not washed as regularly as it is today, and chemises were worn next to the skin to protect clothes from sweat and body oils.  The idea is similar to that of a modern man’s white t-shirt.  In those times, however, the chemises would be washed often, but the outer garments would not. 

 

Modern chemises probably have more in common with a camisole or a teddy than they do with a t-shirt, though.  They are generally about thigh-length and have straps rather than sleeves.  It’s true that they can still be worn as under garments.  In fact, they make great slips for short dresses.  Current fashion has even brought the chemise to the outside, as silky, short, strappy dresses have become quite popular.

 

The lingerie form of the chemise is the most popular style of sexy undergarments. With so many styles to choose from, including form-fitting to the silky free flowing style, you and your partner will love the way it feels. Chemises are designed to fit any mood or occasion. Just slip one on and watch the night unfold.

 

Chemises have a lot in common with lingerie known as “baby doll” style.  Like these little dress-type outfits, chemises tend to hug the skin along the bust line and waist and then flare out a bit at the hips.  For this reason, they look good on pretty much every body type, too, which is a real bonus for women who are new to shopping for lingerie.  While one can think of chemises as being “naughty lingerie,” there is something of an air of romance to them.  This is another reason they can be a great choice for someone who is new to lingerie.  They tend to be a bit more modest than a bustier, teddy, or corset, so there’s less nervousness for the woman who is simply trying to look pretty for a special night in.

 

Giving a chemise as a gift is a safe bet. They aren’t tight and they don’t have a specific bra size so it’s easier to give than other types of lingerie. Buying lingerie for a woman can sometimes be a tricky and uncomfortable experience. However, buying a chemise for a woman is a good idea. Chemises are more forgiving than other lingerie pieces. As long as she feels sexy, that’s all that matters!
