This sweet and practical 1870 era chemise is designed specifically to be worn under 1870s style dresses with their fashionable fitted sleeves, but works just as well as a dainty summer nightie. It is very simple in design with only four pieces. It features short dolman like sleeves that are edged with lace and a round lace edged yoke that fastens one button at each shoulder (snaps or hook and loop tape can be used, if preferred). The chemise is finished with a lace edged hem that completes this simple, yet feminine underwear garment.
This PDF sewing pattern, by Thimbles and Acorns, is designed to fit 18" dolls such as American Girl® and Other Similarly Sized Dolls.
