Chemise
Also called a shift, this is the basic undergarment of all ladies clothing
which was worn as both underwear and nightdress. Ours is generously
cut in the body and sleeves and has underarm gussets for comfort and
freedom of movement. The ruffled neck and wrists are adjusted to fit with
drawstrings and the sleeves are 3/4 length. Offered in medium weight
white linen and bleached or natural muslin. After placing your order you
will receive an email requesting the appropriate measurements for your
garment.

Petticoat
What today would be called a skirt, petticoats are worn over the
chemise and can vary from mid-calf to ankle length. Working women
often wore theirs shorter for greater freedom of movement. In winter
a woman would wear as many petticoats as necessary for
warmth-seven was not uncommon. Ours is made from 120" of 100%
cotton broadcloth to give great freedom of movement with a simple
drawstring waistband. Offered in 100% cotton broadcloth in solid
colors. After placing your order you will receive an email requesting
the appropriate measurements for your garment.

Bodice
The ladies equivalent of a man's waistcoat, this fitted, sleeveless garment is worn over the chemise and petticoat. Our
bodice laces up the front and is fully lined and completely reversible, so choosing a complementary colored lining is like
getting two bodices for the price of one. Made from 100% Cotton Broadcloth and offered in two styles: the "English",
which is hip length and has a straight cut hem; and the "French", which is waist length with small points at the lower front
openings. After placing your order you will receive an email requesting the appropriate measurements for your garment.
