Chemisettes Aka women's dickey
yttri Advanced Beginner MN USA Member since 3/25/12 Posts: 60	Login to reply to this post 1 member likes this. Date: 7/3/12 4:16 PM Just learned the term chemisette today, previously have always used the term dickey. This is so cute and also seems easy to make. With all the recent discussions about sewing journals, I think this would be a great exercise in making button holes and collars! - Source, Refinery29 Using eyelet is a great summery idea. Personally I end up wearing tank tops underneath shirts for work because they're cut just a tad too low for me.

They are like a little slip of fabric, and have elastic on the edge to snap over the strap and hold in place. You can also wear these under a buttoned blazer. ------ "We don't impose our rhythm on Nature. The key is to respect and live within Her."

There is a "made for TV" product called Cami-Secret that is sold in store..you get 3 for about $10..It's so easy to make your own..there was a discussion here about it several years ago, but I can't find the thread. As was previously posted, this is not a new idea. The book "Make and Mend for Victory" has some versionst...Look at the right page here and it may give you some ideas.. This is from my review of the ruffled jabot on the left, so some of the right side is cut off. ------ 2009-113.25 yds 2010-115.5 2011-80.25+30+donated 2012 86.3 yds.. 2013 21.0 Everyone who sews seriously has a stockpile of fabrics, because it is natural to purchase more than can be sewn in any one season" Singer, Timesaving Sewing, 1987

Some of those are cute and some are very Judge Judy! I used to own a dickey myself, but never got around to wearing it because it reminded me of a polo shirt. Using eyelet adds a refreshing feel that also seems more versatile. -- Edited on 7/4/12 4:06 PM --

Now that the heat index is in the 100's here, I wouldn't mind using one of those versus wearing an entire camisole
