This Medieval Era Chemise is designed to be worn under The 14th Century Ladies Cotehardie, but is compatible with other historical dresses that date through the 17th century. The knee length chemise can be made with side godets and underarm gussets for an historical finish, but there is the option to omit them for a simpler design. It features both fitted and full sleeve options. The full sleeve gathers at the shoulder and is cinched at the wrist with either a drawstring or elastic. The neckline opening gathers to fit with a drawstring.
This PDF sewing pattern by Thimbles and Acorns is designed to fit 18" dolls such as American Girl® and Other Similarly Sized Dolls.
