A chemise is longer in length compared to a camisole. It has spaghetti straps with a round or a V-neckline. A lot of chemises have lace and other exquisite fabrics used for embellishments. In olden days it was worn under dresses so that the dress does not get directly in touch with the skin so that the oils and sweat do not stain the dress.

Camisoles are shorter in length as compared to a chemise, they extend till the waistline. These slinky under tops are designed with spaghetti straps. Sometimes its neckline can plunge low in a cleavage-bearing style or could be a regular round neckline.

These camisoles work great for layering under shirts or jackets, they are also great as night slips with shorts.

Camisoles are considered very versatile and fashionable.  Apart from being multipurpose, they are very comfortable to slip in for a day out running errands or day in chilling at home. These days camisoles can be found both in clothing and lingerie selections in retail stores and web stores. Usually, the ones found under the clothing section are more fancy with prints, colours and premium fabrics like satin and silk. And the ones under the lingerie section are often designed to give a snug -fit especially when it’s made from cotton stretch fabric and has a built-in bra.
