Finished Chemise!

[mala_14]

As promised, pictures! (The stack of books you can see on the piano bench is just one of many being used for my thesis monster. ;p)

This chemise is made from cotton lawn from Dharma Trading. Not nearly as soft as the combed cotton lawn, it's still nice and lightweight with a smooth, slightly crisp hand. It also holds a crease very nicely, which was helpful when I was doing the rolled hems.

Super close-up of my handsewing. Rolled hem and whipstitched lace. (For scale, the ribbon is 1/16 inch.)
Next up, a corset to wear over it! And a petticoat!
