chemises
Simple slip dresses
Chemises is the plural of chemise, a loose-fitting undergarment or dress that hangs straight from the shoulders.
Historically, a chemise was a woman's basic undergarment worn beneath outer clothing: She packed her chemises and petticoats.
In modern fashion, the term describes a simple, slip-like dress or nightgown with minimal shaping.
