In the centre of this enchanted garden Madame Nilsson, in white cashmere slashed with pale blue satin, a reticule dangling from a blue girdle, and large yellow braids carefully disposed on each side of her muslin
chemisette, listened with downcast eyes to M.
But, my dear, suppose you wear a
chemisette next time, if you haven't authority enough over him to prevent his doing it again!
Lecount; they were tenderly interested in everything she looked at -- in Magdalen, in the toad on the rock-work, in the back-yard view from the window; in her own plump fair hands, -- which she rubbed softly one over the other while she spoke; in her own pretty cambric
chemisette, which she had a habit of looking at complacently while she listened to others.
She wore a white muslin dress, a rose- colored sash, and rose-colored ribbons in the pretty cap on her head; her
chemisette was moulded so deliciously by her shoulders and the loveliest rounded contours, that the sight of her awakened an irresistible desire of possession in the depths of the heart.

chemisette. Shyness and timidity had brought the color to a face which had nothing very remarkable about it save a certain flatness of feature which called to mind the Cossack and Russian countenances that since the disasters of 1814 have unfortunately come to be so widely known in France.
A transparent
chemisette, of the same stuff as the head-dress, descends as far as the waist, covering, but not concealing, a bosom that has never been imprisoned in stays.
For wear as a day dress on the occasion of the wedding, a lace
chemisette filled in the very low NECKLINE, the cut of which would allow the gown to be worn after the wedding as an evening gown.
The two-piece ensemble includes a jacket worn over a chemise, a sleeveless slip; a collar attached to a
chemisette that ties around the neck, white sleeves, a corset, drawers, a skirt and mitts (gloves without fingers).
A purse in Borsetta da Donna (Woman's Handbag), 1969, suggests a towering structure, while
Chemisette Verte (Green Shirt), 1967, underscores a different element of the images' architecture: The sand incorporated into the work's acrylic surface confers a very real rasp to its fabric.
