Product description
Luxurious short-sleeved chemise, 100% Organic Silk
This chemise is made from organic silk, brings luxurious comfort to both everyday wear and special occasions. The short-sleeved silk dress feels wonderfully light and smooth against the skin. Silk cools in warm weather and provides warmth in the cold, offering year-round comfort.
Crafted from softly shimmering silk knit, this women’s underdress is smooth and opaque. Its round neckline has reinforced edging around the neckline for a refined finish. It's perfect for wearing as a nightdress, too.
Why wear a slip dress?
- Helps knitted dresses, summer dresses or party dresses drape beautifully
- Prevents outer garments from clinging or riding up while walking
- Smooths the silhouette and adds coverage under sheer or short dresses
- Doubles as a luxurious nightdress – gentle on skin, even while you sleep
- Or wear it as a lightweight summer dress – pair with an oversized shirt or style with a skirt
Our certified organic silk is one of the most luxurious underwear materials available. Thanks to its smooth protein structure that closely resembles human skin, it’s ideal for those with allergies or sensitive skin.
The dresses have been cut on the fold. The fold will even out after the first wash.
Handmade in Artjärvi, Finland. No need to wash before first use.

Size chart
Size guide
Knitted fabrics made from natural fibres are elastic, and due to the properties of the material, product sizes may vary slightly. For this reason, we do not provide measurements of finished products, but size selection is based on your own body measurements.
Dimensions in the table are given in centimetres (cm).
WOMEN | XS | S | M | L | XL | XXL |
Body measurement: | ||||||
Neck - wrist | 70 | 72,5 | 75 | 77 | 78 | 79 |
Chest circumference | 76-84 | 84-92 | 92-100 | 100-110 | 110-122 | 122-134 |
Waist circumference | 61-69 | 69-77 | 77-85 | 85-95 | 95-107 | 107-119 |
Hip circumference | 80-88 | 88-96 | 96-104 | 104-114 | 114-126 | 126-138 |
Inside leg length (crotch-to-floor) | 74 | 76 | 78 | 80 | 80 | 80 |

This is how you measure:
- Measure over bare skin or thin underwear.
- The easiest way to measure is with a tape measure. Make sure the tape measure is straight. It is easier to measure if you have another person with you or if you measure in front of a mirror.
- If your measurements fall between the two measurements on the measurement chart, we recommend taking a smaller size as the products are strethcy.
- Remember to check the measurements on the correct size chart, especially for unisex products.
Tips for choosing your size:
- The measurements on the size chart are body measurements, which you can compare to find the right size.
- Our products are made to Finnish measurements, which means that they are generally a little looser than e.g. European sizes. If you are deciding between two sizes, a smaller size is probably sufficient if you prefer a more fitted look.
- For unisex products, we recommend that women choose one size smaller than their normal size. Also check the measurements on the size chart!
- Silk wool is more elastic than wool or silk, so keep this in mind, especially when selecting adult silk wool garments.
-
The knit of our wool products will slightly shrink when first washed. This is taken into account in the sizing, which is slightly loose before the first wash.

As we open the door and step inside the lower floor of the Old Dairy, the room is filled with a soft steady whir, paced by a faster buzz, click and then another buzz. Some twenty seamstresses are working. This is where the heart of Ruskovilla is.
