A silk chemise is more than just sleepwear—it’s a timeless wardrobe staple that offers elegance, comfort, and effortless luxury. Crafted from breathable, natural fibres like 19 momme silk, our chemises drape beautifully on the body, offering a soft, smooth finish that feels as good as it looks. Whether worn as a nightie, a slip, or styled under a jacket, this is a piece you’ll reach for again and again.
Our collection features everything from short silk nighties with lace trims to longer silk slips that work beautifully as undergarments or stand-alone sleepwear. With superior quality brands like Lotus Silk, you’re investing in premium silk that offers natural temperature regulation, making it ideal for year-round comfort.

Can I wear a silk chemise as a slip or dress?
Yes, many of our customers wear their silk chemise as a slip under sheer dresses or as a dress on its own. It drapes beautifully and can be styled up or down depending on the occasion.
Is silk good for sleeping in?
Absolutely. Silk is breathable, hypoallergenic, and naturally temperature-regulating, making it perfect for a restful night’s sleep in any season.
What’s the difference between a silk chemise and a silk slip?
Not much—both are similar in style and function. A slip is typically worn under clothes, while a chemise might have more decorative elements and is often worn as nightwear.
How do I care for my silk chemise?
We recommend hand washing in cold water with a gentle detergent like Bon Savvy's Silk Wash. Avoid wringing or twisting—gently press out water with a towel and dry flat away from sunlight.
Where can I try one on in person?
You can visit us in-store at The Foundation Neutral Bay, Rozelle, or at Lin & Barrett in Bowral. Our fitters will help you find the perfect silk piece to suit your style and shape.
