Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a babydoll and a chemise?
A babydoll is short, flares from an empire waist under the bust and usually comes with a matching thong. A chemise is a straight slip that falls from the bust to mid-thigh.
Which is more comfortable to sleep in?
A chemise. Its straight cut and longer length make it practical as actual sleepwear, while a babydoll is designed primarily for evening wear.
Which is more flattering?
A babydoll skims the waist and stomach, so it suits anyone wanting a looser midsection. A chemise follows the body line and suits a slip-dress silhouette.
