I finished the 1900's combination undergarment this week. It's a combination drawers and corset cover, according to the pattern, which I got from The Edwardian Modiste, page 245. It's made of cotton batiste trimmed with tatted lace and silk ribbons. My combinations do not have as much trim as the pattern image showed, but since I tatted all my trim, I don't care. I'm really not into very decorative underwear anyway.

The pattern doesn't say anything about any fastenings, and the picture doesn't show any except that it has ribbons at neck and waist. I don't trust drawstring ribbons to keep anything shut so I put a button and buttonhole at neck and waist behind the ribbons.

All the lace patterns came from Butterick's Tatting and Netting published in 1895.

I really should look at my reference pictures more often because I only realized when I went to put the thing together that the neck has a beading with ribbon in the pattern picture. I should have picked a pattern with a beading or attached a beading to the edge of the pattern I did choose (which is actually just a modified version of the sleeve lace with extra picots in the chains so that it could make a concave curve neatly instead of a convex curve. I was tired of working on laces by the time I made the actual garment so I just ran the ribbon through the chains on the lace I made. Not ideal, perhaps, but I thought it pretty.
