#223 A Lady's Chemise
For
hundreds of years, a chemise was that intimate garment worn next
to a lady's skin and was often meticulously monogrammed in
dainty script during the Victorian era. Today, A Lady's Chemise
is the perfect nightgown or simple summer dress. Our flattering
chemise was worn during the mid to late 1800s and we offer two
appealing versions. Both views have short gathered and ruffled
cap sleeves and can be cut low knee-length or at the hip to be
worn as a blouse. Delicate pleats accent the center front and
back of the neckline, which is adjustable with feminine ribbon
drawstrings. Instructions and alphabet designs for a Victorian
monogram are included.
