How to speak lingerie: Chemise, camisole, and teddy

Chemise
What it is: A short or long sleeveless, strappy slip, typically with an A-line silhouette that is tighter around the bust and flowy around the bodice and waist.
When to wear it: Lounging around the bedroom or, in some instances, lounging around the pool as a swimsuit coverup.

Camisole
What it is: A sleeveless, slinky, sexy top with spaghetti straps. Sometimes the neckline can plunge low in a cleavage bearing style.
When to wear it: Can be worn solo or layered under shirts or jackets. Can also be worn to bed with cute pajama bottoms, underwear, or nothing.

Teddy
What it is: A one-piece top and bottom combination that includes a camisole and shorts. Usually made out of silky, sexy material.
When to wear it: For the bedroom, either to sleep in or to seduce someone.
