A
chemise is a loose-fitting, sleeveless, shirt-like lingerie made from delicate sheer material such as
satin and
silk and usually provocative and comfortable to sleep in.
A
nightdress is a loosely hanging item of nightwear and is normally quite
dressy. Its length may vary from hip-length (babydoll) to floor-length (negligee) but is typically knee-length. A nightdress is manufactured of
cotton,
silk or
satin. A short nightdress is often called a nightie.
A slip nightdress may be used as a nightdress or as a full slip. Worn often with a matching outer garment, a robe, sheer chiffon peignoir or dressing gown. Less
dressy then nightdresses are
nightshirts.
If you prefer less coverage try a
camisole.
