Is it a Slip or a Nightgown?

The short answer is Yes. The long answer is that it’s a chemise. A chemise has adjustable straps for a perfect and comfortable fit. Historically, a chemise was an intimate apparel must have working as a simple garment worn next to the skin to protect clothing from sweat and body oils. It was also that one piece that provided that beautifully smooth finished look to an outfit.

Then came Spanx and extreme shape wear. The modern slip/chemise is making a comeback in fashion and is serving double duty as a nightgown. Not to worry, it works beautifully over your shape wear of choice and adds an extra element of elegance.

Think of it as part of your super-hero body armor. And remember, red is a bold and beautiful choice – and it’s a neutral!
