How to Choose a Chemise or Babydoll

A chemise is a loose, slip-style nightgown that's soft and easy to wear, while a babydoll is shorter and flares out from under the bust. Soft jersey is the comfy, everyday choice, and satin is the one for when you want to feel a little more special.

Pick a long chemise for a softer, more fluid feel, a short one for warmer nights, or a babydoll when you're feeling playful. Some of our chemises also have secret support built in, because the best kind of support is the kind you don't notice. Add a robe for cold mornings, and we'd call it perfectly reasonable to buy two. Or three.

Chemise FAQs

What's the difference between a chemise and a nightgown?
A chemise is a type of nightgown, a loose, slip-style one, usually in a soft fabric like jersey or satin, in both short and long lengths. "Nightgown" is the broader term, so it can also mean longer, more covered styles. If you want something lighter and a little more special, a chemise is the one, and buying more than one is strongly encouraged.
What's the difference between a chemise and a babydoll?
A chemise is a single slip-style piece that falls straight from the shoulders or bust. A babydoll is shorter and flares out from under the bust, which makes it a little more playful. Both are comfy to sleep in, so it comes down to your bedtime mood.
Are chemises comfortable to sleep in?
Yes, that's what they're made for. Because they're loose and fluid, there's no waistband to dig in, and soft jersey styles feel especially cozy. Satin feels smooth against the skin, for when you want to feel a little more special.
Do any of your chemises have built-in support?
Yes, some of our chemises have secret support built in, so you get comfort and support in one, and nobody needs to know. Simply type "hidden support" into our search bar to find your perfect styles.
What size chemise should I buy, and what sizes are available?
Chemises are sized by clothing size, so your usual size is the best place to start. If you're between sizes, going up gives a more relaxed, roomier fit. Our chemises are available in size XS to 3XL.
Can I wear a robe over a chemise?
Absolutely, and we'd recommend it. A robe over a chemise is the easiest way to stay warm on chilly mornings.
