Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a chemise and a nightgown?
A chemise is a short slip-style piece ending around mid-thigh with thin straps. A nightgown is longer, looser and generally more modest in cut.
Which is better for hot sleepers?
A silk chemise. Its shorter length and breathable fibre move heat away faster than a full-length gown.
Is silk worth it for sleepwear?
Mulberry silk regulates temperature, is naturally hypoallergenic and is gentler on skin and hair than synthetic satin.
