Description: Past Patterns PP#0002Early Chemise Patternfor sizes 10-26from Federalist Era (1789-1829) A chemise and a shift are interchangeable words, as the word corset is interchangeable with stay. Chemises were worn under the stay. This way the stay would remain clean and would be washed less. It looks as if some stays were never or very seldom washed, if we can judge their appearance from museum collections. Chemises from this era could be made of all linen, a blend of linen and cotton, and cotton. The earliest documented round necked, ungathered, chemise we have researched is embroidered with cross stitched date of 1806. These two simple chemises can be made with a high or open neck and short or elbow length sleeves. The high neck was embroidered with red thread. Mice teeth needlework finished the neck and sleeve edges. The open neck requires 2-1/4 Yds. of 45 inch wide fabric for sizes 10-14, 2-5/8 Yds. for sizes 16-20, 3 Yds. for sizes 22-26.The high neck requires 2-1/4 Yds. of 45 inch for sizes 10-14, 2-3/8 Yds. for sizes 16-20, 2-3/4 Yds. for sizes 22-26.See sizing chart in images.

We do this with the hope that people will start creating and wearing reproductions instead of antique originals. The clothes we wear and that our grandparents wore are part of our cultural history. Just as you would not abuse antiques furniture by cutting off decorative trim, so you should not abuse antique garments by wearing them. Our second goal is that you pick up a little bit of history when you sew the garment. The fit, the cut, the fasteners, the fabric design, just to mention a few things, are part to the technology of the time. Our third goal, in sewing the patterns, is to spark an interest in genealogy and local history. Researching local history is always a rewarding pursuit. SKU PP#0002 Thanks for looking!
