Chemise

I won't be able to wash this corset, so I need a chemise This one is a practical and not particularly historically accurate undergarment. It's a tube. I bought a yard of cotton lycra blend(5% lycra) from Jo-Annes. The fabric is folded in half with modern chemise on top as the pattern. I drew the shape with quilter's pencil and cut. The fabric and shape may not be Victorian but the intent remains the same, keep the outer clothing clean.

Pinned.

Sewn together.


Finished with straps added. The hardest part of this was getting the straps in the right location so they don't show under the corset.


No, I'm not going to photograph this with me in it.
