zoe said... Fascinating ( unfortunately, I couldn't get the picture: I get a message that says it " can't be found") ???
I think the chemise would make a great nightgown . I have a beautiful book: the Victoria and Albert Museum's 17th and 18th century Fashion in Detail, which has beautiful photographs of their clothing collection. I study the pictures to try to make the clothing for needle felted animal dolls that I make. I've never tried real human sized though. 5/26/12 5:57 PM

oldfashionedgirlsews said... I had been trying to fix the link, and finally asked my brother, who showed me how :) both links should work now. RadarRadianc, corsets do give much better support and I find them very comfortable especially ones from the 1860's, and that's why I made this one! 6/3/12 5:38 PM
