During the Victorian era, it was often meticulously monogrammed in dainty script. Today, A Lady's Chemise is the perfect nightgown or simple summer dress. Our flattering chemise was worn during the mid to late 1800's and we offer a sewing pattern for 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. The neckline for View A drops just off the shoulder in the late 19th century style and uses purchased eyelet beading and lace or eyelet ruffles at neckline and sleeve. The neckline of View B sits on the shoulder, as in earlier eras; it featured a self-fabric ruffle casing for the ribbon drawstring. Instructions and alphabet designs for a Victorian monogram are included. Suggested Fabrics: Light-weight cottons and blends such as batiste, lawn, voile, gauze, or eyelet; handkerchief linen; silks such as crepe de chine; rayon challis. Originals were made of lightweight muslin or linen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"folkwear","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49511346798830,"sku":null,"price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/1004\/7793\/files\/image_a6c6c33a-f7c0-4755-8b07-7e2eb34be35f.png?v=1787954159","url":"https:\/\/zfabric.com\/products\/a-ladys-chemise-folkwear-patterns","provider":"Z Fabrics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
