Two chemises, two distinct silhouettes
The Whitney Black Chemise and Alessandra Wine Chemise are both slips, but they differ in neckline, back design, and coverage. The Whitney features a plunging V neckline with a high thigh split and satin bow detail, while the Alessandra has a high halter neck and low scoop back. Both come in sizes XXS through XXL, so your choice hinges on the look and fit you prefer.

How to choose based on fit and styling
If you want adjustable elements to tailor the fit, the Whitney’s adjustable back and straps give you more control. Its plunging V and high split create a bold, leg-focused look that works well for confident evening wear. The Alessandra, with its halter neck and low scoop back, emphasizes the shoulders and back; the slip-on style keeps things simple, while the allover lace and sheer finish make it a natural choice for layering or a romantic night in.
Consider how each neckline suits your preferred bra options. The Whitney’s plunging V may limit bra styles, while the Alessandra’s halter neck could work with a halter bra or no bra, as the catalog suggests wearing it with your favourite bra or nothing underneath. For coverage, the Whitney’s satin fabric is opaque, whereas the Alessandra is subtly sheer, so factor in your comfort with reveal.
Sizing and what the catalog doesn’t tell you
Both chemises are available in sizes XXS through XXL, but the supplied information does not include specific measurements such as bust, waist, or hip ranges. For the best fit, check the size chart on the product page or contact customer service for guidance. Also note that care instructions are not provided in the catalog for either piece; to preserve the lace and satin, follow any hangtag instructions and consider professional cleaning if unsure.
