Women’s Nightgowns

What is the purpose of a chemise nightgown?

A chemise nightgown is a short, loose-fitting dress for sleeping. They’re great for staying cool or for those who find that full-length women’s nightgowns get tangled around their legs when sleeping. Chemise nightgowns also present a slightly sexier option for sleepwear that can double as women’s lingerie. Shop lace sleep chemises, silk chemises, and other flirty options.

What types of women’s nightgowns and chemises are available?

What do you wear under a women’s chemise nightgown?

Like all women’s sleepwear, women’s chemise nightgowns can be worn with or without undergarments. Some prefer to wear cotton briefs at night, while others opt to go bare. If you're looking for more support at night, shop chemise sleepwear and women’s nightgowns with built-in shelf bras for added lift throughout the bust.

If built-in support isn’t enough, explore our range of comfortable women’s bras. We carry wireless bras and bralettes with enough support to help you feel secure morning and night.

How should I care for chemises for women?

Generally speaking, our night dresses, chemises, and luxury sleepwear should be washed in cool water on a delicate cycle with a mild detergent. Allow them to air dry rather than placing them in the dryer.

It's always best to refer to the tag on your chemise for specific care instructions.

How do I choose the right size for a chemise?

Your women’s nightgowns and sleep chemises should fit comfortably without being overly tight. A chemise that’s too large can bunch uncomfortably at night, so it’s important to find the right fit. We recommend using your regular dress or lingerie size to ensure a proper fit.

Our night dresses for women are available in various sizes to accommodate different body types. Choose from sizes XS to XXL.
