Why Wear a Chemise?

Who doesn't love to look and feel voluptuous? How you look says a lot about how your ambiance on both the inside and out. It builds confidence and allows a woman to look and feel the best that she can. When it comes to lingerie, there is so much more to truly know about it than meets ones eye. In fact, if you think that you know everything about lingerie, you very well may not actually. I thought that I did, yet everyday I learn something new whether how it can be worn as an accent, which piece to wear and why, along how to select the right color that works with your body and your skin tones. You see my friends, defining what a chemise is not as easy as one might think. Do you even know what a chemise is? A lot of people do not, and that's both men, and women. I'd like to share with you the standard chemise and explain it in more detail. I happen to be one of those women who love this particular item of women's intimate apparel.I also happen to know that men go nuts over women in lingerie.

 There are so very many forms of the chemise still around today. We sell a large variety of them at our two online boutiques, www.SimplyDeliciousLingerie.com 
and www.SimplyLusciousLingerie.com our plus size intimate apparel store. There is the original version of the chemise also called “léine” by the Irish, or so I was told. A leine is a simple shirt or smock worn under the clothes. Its original design was to keep sweat and body oils from staining and/or spreading to the outer garments. It first became really popular back in the European middle ages. Women would wear them under their gowns or robes depending on their social status. Men even wore chemises with their trousers and covered it with doublets and royal robes, as well. In this day and age, the chemise was the only piece of clothing that was actually regularly washed because it was against the skin. As time moved on, the men’s chemise fell out of fashion, but the women’s did not. The only remnants left of the male chemise is in shirts today. In most Western cultures, women still wear chemises in some fashion or another. Some styles are still reminiscent of the original, while others are now considered lingerie.

Chemises that still resemble the one from centuries ago come in an array of fabrics today.  There are a couple of types that women can wear so I'll elaborate a bit to share the information with you:

 The standard cotton and satin chemises are the most popular ones. These can be worn under formal Renaissance dress, used as sleepwear, or as shirts. They are still very popular today and have many functions. Most are offered in white, cream, and black so they can be worn under just about anything. The white and cream are the most common colors and most widely used. The black has become more popular in the 20th century and can be used under specific gothic attire. No matter how you use a chemise of this type, it can be fun and fashionable. It can also be sensual, sexy and seductive. It can accommodate you and make a great and comfortable nightgown as well. This is a lightweight garment that is so comfortable it can be slept in any time of the year. 

The other more popular and common type of the chemise is the lingerie piece that has come to the forefront in modern culture. This type of chemise is a slip like garment that has spaghetti type straps to hold it on the shoulders. It can be worn under dresses and/or skirts or used as intimate apparel. This flirty little mini-slip is approximately thigh length or a little above. This is what most Americans call a chemise and not the original garment. These are very easy to find in any department or retail lingerie store just about anywhere. Chemises come in an array of fabric types, colors, and designs. Most styles offer a variety of textures and fabric combinations that can suit any woman’s desire. The total possible combinations are endless. Designers have flooded the market with any possible color and/or fabric combination and possibility. 

Some common standards for chemises as lingerie are crushed velvet, silk, satin, lace, and mesh. The simple sexy crushed velvet chemise is a classic always. It is sexy and sweet all at the same time. Its soft texture is pleasant to touch and wear yet doesn’t reveal too much and is seductively flirty. The silk and satin chemises are soft and sensual and can be a bit more playful. You can get them with just the silk or satin or with a combination of other materials. Many chemises of this style incorporate lace, mesh, embroidery, and sequins for that extra pizzazz., and honestly, who doesn't love the glam and glitter?

Many women today will wear a chemise as a dress out on the town as long as it is not too revealing...many are quite revealing, nonetheless, we have some that could be worn out and about. Chemises also come in full lace or mesh and a combination of both. These are sexy play outfits to be worn generally for intimate play. The color schemes of chemises can range in so many possible directions. What color you choose is going to have much to do with your skin tone and hair/eye color. You can have anything from solid colors that can range from bold, pastel, to earth tones. There are also two-toned chemises that have an array of color displays as well. What ever you decide to go with you can bet your will look fabulous and sexy.
