Seller's description

Specifications

May include: A long, white, sheer nightdress with long sleeves and a high, dark collar. The sleeves are gathered at the wrists with ties. The nightdress is displayed on a wooden dress form. The garment is likely vintage or inspired by historical styles.

This chemise is designed as a high-performance foundation garment for historical dress, where comfort, movement, and authenticity must work together seamlessly.

Made from a luxurious silk–cotton blend, the fabric is exceptionally light, soft, and subtly lustrous. Unlike standard cotton chemises, this blend glides smoothly between layers and does not cling or catch, creating a noticeably more comfortable wearing experience—especially under structured garments.

The cut is generous and fluid, allowing the fabric to fall naturally and support the silhouette of 18th- and early 19th-century dress. The neckline is adjustable, making it easy to fine-tune fit depending on period styling or personal preference.

All seams are carefully machine-sewn and finished with traditional French seams, ensuring durability, historical correctness, and a clean interior finish suitable for long wear.

This chemise is an ideal base layer for:
• Robe à la Française
• Robe à l’Anglaise
• Regency and early 19th-century gowns
• Any historically inspired ensemble where comfort and authenticity matter

Measurements
• Length from shoulder to hem: 135 cm
• Sleeve length (shoulder seam to tie): 60 cm
• Shoulder width: 13 cm
• Hem circumference: 146 cm

Key features
• Silk–cotton blend with soft natural sheen
• Lightweight, breathable, and smooth against the skin
• Adjustable neckline
• French seam construction throughout
• Designed for historical accuracy and modern comfort

A refined undergarment that quietly elevates everything worn over it — because a well-built historical wardrobe always starts with the right foundation.
