A Chemise is an essential, historical garment worn by just about every woman regardless of her station or class level. Our version has a small ruffle along the neckline and cuffs. This chemise can be worn on or off the shoulder. Our chemise is made out of lightweight cotton fabric for comfort, coolness, and washability. There is a slash of lace down the sleeve for added class and ventilation. 

Made of 100% cotton fabric for the body. Lace fabric patterns and fiber content will vary. Garment is machine washable.  Wash instructions included with order. 

EMBROIDERY: 

There are multiple options for lovely Celtic knotwork or Thistle Blackwork embroidery. Any of the patterns can be done on just the cuffs, or down the length of the sleeve on each side of the lace slash. Pricing will vary. Featured on one of the chemises is our Blackwork Thistle embroidery pattern down the length of the arms. It adds a great Scottish touch to this basic garment. Historically Blackwork embroidery was traditionally black, but we thought we'd offer other embroidery colors for variety. Also available are two Celtic Knotwork patterns, as noted in pictures as Pattern A or Pattern B. 

Elastic wrist and neckline are standard, but drawstrings are available as an alternative. Our quality level is indicated by the fact that we encase our elastic with fabric - we do NOT stitch the exposed elastic directly onto the fabric.

Body length will vary with height options.   A full-length version is available for an added cost. The full-length version is a perfect complement for under our Froca, Bellacane, or for added layers under skirts.  The full-length version is approximately 54" long.
