chemise dress

Unbelted straight dress

A chemise dress is a loose, straight-hanging dress with minimal waist definition, resembling the undergarment called a chemise.

The silhouette typically falls from the shoulders in a simple column or slight A-line shape: She wore a silk chemise dress to the gallery opening.

The style emphasizes comfort and ease over fitted construction.
