chemise

A 36-year-old Algiers native, with a prodigious beard and an ankle-length orange chemise covering his giant build, Omar was well acquainted with the discrepancy between his country’s size and its reputation.

Covering up her sheer chemise with Doc’s pajama top — “Silk, of course, being Doc Scantlin” — she sang a song popularized by Shirley Horn, “Where Do You Start?”

He styled an A-line mini-dress to wear with tall boots, a “bubble” dress that was gathered at the hem by a drawstring and a “chemise,” a short dress that tapers at the bottom.

In one scene, for instance, Daphne Bridgerton's back is cut and bruised from her too-tight corset, but Regency women would have worn a chemise — a linen undergarment — against their skin to prevent this from happening.

The model recently took to Instagram where she rocked a black satin and lace chemise highlighting her coveted curves.
