1883 Chemise
Mar. 16th, 2019 07:41 amAnother catch-up post:
Last fall I made a chemise based on one of the patterns in one of Frances Grimble's books. It was the Tucked Chemise with Heart-Shaped Yoke from 1883 on page 89 of Fashions of the Gilded Age, Vol. 1. It was not a roaring success. The pieces didn't really fit together right so I ended up having to redraw one of the top curves and make up the sleeves on the fly. Maybe I should have eased them in more or something, but I couldn't make them come out right. So it works, but it's definitely not my favorite thing ever.
