Is the chemisette comfortable to wear?
|
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.

Will I feel the buttons?
|
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 even feel the buttons.
|
| |
Will the chemisette lay flat against my skin?
|
If you purchase the correct size and use our tips for adjusting the elastic loops, the chemisette will lay flat against your skin without gaping or bunching. The elastic loops can be double-wrapped around one or both bra straps and/or one or both buttons to achieve tension and assure the best possible fit.
|
| |
Will it move up or down my bra straps as I'm wearing it, or will it come out of my blouse or top?
|
The chemisette is so you can wear it at different heights. Use the elastic loops to create enough tension to keep it at your desired height. If you wear it at a height that leaves the bottom edge just barely tucked under your outer garment, and/or your outer garment is very loose-fitting, there is a chance that it might come out. It is the outer-garment that keeps the edges of the chemisette from coming out. If the rounded edge of the chemisette is too close to the neckline edge of the outer garment, there is little to hold it in place. If you are concerned, you could try tucking the chemisette into the cups of your bra.

Could you make it so it can be attached at the bottom also?
|
Attaching at the bottom would work against several key features of the chemisette. Before marketing our chemisettes, we had a group of women test different shapes to find the one that would work best with sizes and still lay nice and flat to give the optimal appearance. Attaching at the bottom would tend to pull and pucker the fabric. The top edge keeps cleavage covered when you lean forward, and the bottom edge falls away from the body, preventing anyone from seeing further down outer garment. If it were attached at the bottom, this lower coverage would not be provided. One of the things our customers love about our chemisettes is that they can decide how high or low they want to wear them, at any time or with any outer garment. This wouldn't be possible with a bottom attachment.

Will it stay at the height I place it?
|
If you purchase the correct size and use our tips 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 tension and assure the best possible fit.
|
| |
Will the outline of the chemisette show through my blouse or sweater?
|
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.
|
| |
Will the color of the chemisette show through my blouse or sweater?
|
If a colored bra would show through the blouse or sweater then there is also a chance that a chemisette will show through. White, ivory, and other pale colors are least likely to show through.
|
| |
Is it hard to attach?
|
The chemisette is very easy for anyone to attach. You are simply pulling an elastic loop around your bra strap and onto a button. Even someone with limited dexterity will find it easy to put on or take off. Watch our short video on attaching.
|
| |
What do I do if the strap-to-strap measurement isn't the same on all of my bras?
|
This is quite common. This could be addressed one of two ways. 1) 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. 2) 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.
|
| |
Will it fit on my wide or thick bra straps?
|
This is yet another benefit or our patent-pending attachments. The elastic loops allow it to easily work on any width or thickness of bra straps.
|
| |
Is there any chance that it will come undone?
|
Double-wrapping the elastic loop around the buttons can give you extra security that it won't come undone. There may be a very small chance that it will come undone if you have purchased the wrong size. For example, if you purchased a larger size than needed, there may not be enough tension in the elastic to keep it in place. Double-wrapping the elastic loop around the bra strap could provide enough tension to solve the problem. If you are wearing a smaller size than needed, the elastic may be stretched to its limit, causing the elastic to pull off the button.

What can I do if I ordered the wrong size?
|
All regular-price chemisettes can be exchanged within 30 days of purchase, for any reason. Return the item you wish to exchange and provide the style number and size of the item you wish to receive.

Is quality of construction ever an issue?
|
Because quality is so important to us, we monitor it closely and have sold thousands of chemisettes with no quality issues. 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.

How can I be sure that I am getting the color that I need?
|
With computer screens and different user settings, it can be very difficult to show exact colors online. Online selling also does not provide the benefit of being able to touch and feel the fabrics. We are happy to provide up to 6 swatches at no cost to you.
|
| |
Can you make some with a more rounded neckline?
|
This style would require us to have a seam across the top that we currently do not have. We have tested this style and were not able to consistently keep the seam from showing. If we can't achieve consistent high quality with a new style, we don't introduce it.

Money is so tight right now. How can I be sure this is what I am looking for?
|
There really is only one way to be sure. Try one! We take the risk out by offering a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you decide to return it, we ask that you include a note letting us know why you are requesting a refund. We will issue a refund as soon as we receive the returned chemisette. Our clearance styles are also a low-cost way to give them a try.
