Welcome to our Renaissance Chemise advanced search facility. The purpose of this page is to help you quickly and easily find the Renaissance Chemise you're looking for.
Chemise is a French
word (which today simply means shirt).
The chemise seems to have evolved from
Roman tunica and became popular
during the European Middle Ages. Back then, the chemise
was worn as a base layer of clothing in order to
prevent soiling of the nicer outer garments which
were more difficult to wash.
Today, the term chemise
can refer to a variety of styles. From the classic
smock or shift to to certain modern types of women's
undergarments and dresses.
To achieve an upperclass
or maybe even a noble look to the chemise then you
should look for one with a gathered/ruffled look
at the neckline along with long sleeves and a puffed/gathered
look at the cuffs.
