1883 Chemise........Take 3
Had time to sit down with the pattern today. I took 3" off of each seam, for a total of 12", and lowered the armscye an inch. It made a huge difference in the fit. *note- there is a pattern for a chemise with the same shape, but gathered into a yoke, drafted with the same measures as this one. So much for Klemm's "perfec" system.* I may shave a little more off the armscye, well see when I get to the finishing stage.

Front. I've retained the wide neckline, it's pinned on the form to keep it place for the pictures. I still have lots of room in the bust, but there's no longer room for my twin to crawl in next to me!

Back.
My supervisor. Sebastian the cat. Hard to tell if he thinks I'm doing a good job.

So, next is to bind the neckline and armscye. Then to make the "real" one out of the tissue linen.
After that's accomplished, I guess I will be out of excuses to finish the corset. *sigh*
