The correct indefinite article for the noun "chemise" is "a" or "an."

To determine which article to use, you need to consider the sound at the beginning of the word "chemise." The indefinite article "a" should be used when the noun following it starts with a consonant sound. On the other hand, the indefinite article "an" is used when the noun begins with a vowel sound.

In the case of "chemise," although it starts with the letter 'c,' the sound that 'c' makes in this case is an 'sh' sound, which is a consonant sound. Therefore, you should use the indefinite article "a" before the noun "chemise." For example:

- "I bought a chemise yesterday."
- "She is wearing a beautiful chemise."

Remember, the key is to listen to the sound at the beginning of the noun and choose the corresponding indefinite article accordingly.
