Description:The chemise was a form of underwear. This chemise was designed to be worn by a girl when she was old enough to wear children’s clothes instead of long baby dresses. The frill at the bottom was designed to be seen, as it was to be worn by a young girl. The length of a Victorian girl’s dress grew longer as she got older, so by the time she was sixteen she would be dressing like her mother in a full length gown.
