The Sexy Chemise

The Chemise is probably the oldest lingerie item around. It actually goes back as far as Roman times and originally looked like a simple tunic. Both men and women wore them on a daily basis. The object then, was to stop the outer clothes from getting dirty. They were made of very basic rough materials, unlike their modern, sexy, soft counterparts.

Modern day chemises are made of satin and silk, sometimes lace and are the perfect garment for either a naughty night in, or a night out with the girls.

Chemises come in various guises and are very versatile. They can do away with the need for a bra. Some are very demure, with a quite old fashioned look; others are sexy and racy and feel as good as they look. They are so comfortable in fact that you could sleep in a chemise and feel both sexy and comfortable all night.

Many women have several to match their different moods. They come in full and short versions, with or without sleeves; there is a choice of high or low necklines. Some are sheer, others ooze silky elegance. Choose a slinky black silk number to feel confident but naughty. Try cream or ivory for a slightly more glamorous look.

A chemise would be a perfect item for a romantic night, whether out or in. The feel of the garment is often enough to get women in the right mood. Just a glimpse of it would do the same for a man.
