Frequently Asked Questions

Here we try to answer the most frequently asked questions about our product.

The chemisette is very comfortable. You’ll be surprised…and likely even forget you have it on. The fabrics are chosen for weight and softness. They touch your skin ever so lightly, if at all. The attachments were chosen for comfort and fit. You may never go back to camisoles and tank tops.

Many buttons have been tested to find the ideal button for the chemisette. We use small, shank buttons with flat, smooth tops so they won’t irritate your skin. Most customers say they don’t feel the buttons.

The tension created by the elastic loops is what makes the chemisette lay flat and stay flat. The elastic loops can be double-wrapped around one or both bra straps and/or one or both buttons to achieve enough tension and assure it will stay flat as you move about your day.

The chemisette is designed so you can wear it at different heights. Use the elastic loops to create enough tension to keep it at your desired height. It is the outer garment that keeps the edges of the chemisette from coming out. If the edge of the chemisette is too close to the neckline edge of the outer garment, there is little to hold it in place, and a chance that it might come out. If you are concerned, you could try tucking the chemisette into the cups of your bra.

Attaching at the bottom would work against several key features of the chemisette. The shape of our chemisette allows it to lay flat while wearing. Attaching it at the bottom of the bra would tend to pull and pucker the fabric. If the chemisette attached at the bottom, it would need to be worn at the same height by everyone, with any outergarment. Also, the top edge keeps cleavage covered when you lean forward, and the bottom edge falls away from the body with the neckline of the outer garment, keeping you covered as far down as your waist. If it were attached at the bottom, your bra and torso would still be exposed when you bend over.

If you purchase the correct size, and use our tips for fit and function that are included in the package for adjusting the elastic loops, it will stay at your desired height. You can double wrap one or both loops around one or both bra straps and/or one or both buttons achieve the the right tension for your personal size and assure the best possible fit.

This is typically not a problem. If the lines of a bra might be visible, then the outline of the chemisette may be visible as well. This may be especially true if a blouse or sweater fits very close to the body. If you have purchased a larger size than needed, there is more chance that the outline will be noticeable. We use lightweight, quality fabrics to help avoid this problem. Some of our customers have reported that tucking the chemisette into the cups of the bra has prevented show through.

This is quite common. This could be addressed one of two ways.

Use the measurement of the bra you wear most often to determine your size. Then, use the elastic loops to tweak the fit when you wear your other bras.

Take the measurement wearing 2 or 3 of your different bras and use the average measurement to determine your chemisette size. You can then use the elastic loops to tweak the fit with whichever bra you are wearing.

This is yet another benefit of our patented attachments. The elastic loops allow it to easily fit bra straps of any width or thickness.

Double-wrapping the elastic loop around the buttons can give you extra security that it won’t come undone. The tension created by the elastic loops is what keeps it in place. If the loops feel loose after attaching them to the button, there may be a chance that it will come undone. To prevent this, be sure to follow our measuring and size chart and our tips for best fit and function included in the package to get enough tension.

All chemisettes can be exchanged within 30 days of purchase.

Because quality is so important to us, we monitor it closely to catch any issues before shipment. However, each chemisette is hand-crafted. This means that there may be an occasional flaw, such as a button that is too loose. In this case, simply let us know and we will send you a new one along with a prepaid return envelope for you to return the original to us.

Our patented elastic loop and button attachment creates tension that provides many of the benefits that the imitations don’t have. That needed tension would simply pull a rounded neckline straight when you attach it. The tension:

Allows you to choose how high or low to wear it;

Allows you tweak the size for a perfect individual fit;

Keeps the panel laying flat as you move through your day;

Keeps the top edge of the panel close to your skin as you move through your day, especially when you lean forward or bend over.

There really is only one way to be sure. Try one! We take away the risk by offering a 30-day money-back guarantees. If you are a U.S. customer, you don’t even pay shipping.

It is important that you use our size charts in determining what size product to purchase. When you receive it and try it on, follow the tips for fit and function included in the package.

If you decide to return it, we ask that you include a note letting us know why you are requesting a refund. Products MUST be returned with the original packaging and show no signs of wear or damage by the buyer. We will issue a refund within 2 business days of receiving the returned chemisette.
