The point of wearing a "chemise" "slip" or "smock" was originally to prevent ones sweat and body oils from appearing on or ruining ones outer-clothing. Thin pieces of cloth which preserved what one wanted the outside world to perceive.
In a way the chemise was like armour, or a mask, to ensure that the only elements of oneself made visible were the ones that had been thought upon and decided upon. Masks and armour are meant to be steadfast, unmoving. The poet writes "some last chemise we cant escape" had he written about a slip, the connotation would indicate that this final barrier to intimacy would fall away with ease. Which is not the authors intent.
