Chemise with Drawstring Neckline, Historical, Regular

Our simple gathered neck chemise is perfect for most of the 1800’s. It is made of 100% clear white cotton muslin with cotton beading eyelet at the neckline. This chemise is a simple flowing style which gathers around the neckline by pulling the ribbon in the eyelet making it very adjustable. Our chemise is sleeveless with a generous arm opening prevents binding in the armhole of your dress. The lower edge is finished with a simple rolled hem.

A chemise is an essential item of a ladies underpinnings. Chemises provide the layer between your skin and corset, to keep the corset clean and from pinching and binding as it is adjusted. If you are not wearing a corset the chemise offers a layer of modesty and protects your clothing from the oils on your skin.

This chemise was designed with comfort in mind. It has a nice mid-rise neckline that is totally adjustable. The armholes are wide and generous so that the chemise will not bind up under your dresses. At 31-32 inches in length it is a little on the shorter side so that it does not get caught up in your drawers or pantaloons or prevent you from taking a nice stride step.
