Chemises & Mini Dresses

The chemise seems to have been developed from the Roman tunica and first became popular in the European Middle Ages. Women wore shifts or silk chemises underneath their gowns or robes; men wore chemises with their trousers or braies, and covered the chemises with garments such as doublets, robes, etc. In those times, it was usually the only piece of clothing that was washed regularly. In Western countries, women's shifts did not fall out of fashion until the early 20th century, when they were generally replaced by brassieres, panties, girdles, and full slips.

In modern usage the term sexy chemise generally refers to women's fashions that vaguely resemble the older shifts but are typically more delicate, and usually provocative. Most commonly the term refers to a loose-fitting, sleeveless, shirt-like undergarment or piece of lingerie. It can also refer to a short, sleeveless dress that hangs straight from the shoulders and fits loosely at the waist. There is a similar type of lingery / sleepwear known as the babydoll. Both terms describe short, loose-fitting, sleeveless fashions. Typically, though, Babydolls are more loose-fitting at the hips and are generally designed to more resemble a young girl's nightgown.
