Chemise Drawing
Drawing of a Civil War era chemise from a vintage lady's magazine. This chemise was described at the time as: "Elaborately trimmed with embroidery, and a group of fine tucks, neatly stitched. The neck is gathered into a small yoke, forming points on each shoulder and at the back. An exquisite wreath of grape leaves surrounds the entire yoke, which is edged on either side with Valenciennes lace. The bosom is formed of three rows of the grape-leaf embroidery, separated by groups of fine tucks, neatly stitched, forming a mass of rich trimming, which covers the entire front."
