{"product_id":"folkwear-223-a-ladys-chemise","title":"Folkwear 223 A Lady's Chemise","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eBuy the 223 A Lady's Chemise sewing pattern from Folkwear. Carefully hand-stitched from muslin or fine-spun lawn, a chemise was that intimate garment worn next to a lady's skin. During the Victorian era, it was often meticulously monogrammed in a dainty script. Today, A Lady's Chemise is the perfect nightgown or simple summer dress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis chemise is based on one worn during the mid to late 1800s, and the pattern includes two appealing versions. Both views have short gathered and ruffled cap sleeves and can be cut at low knee-length or at the hip to be worn as a blouse. Delicate pleats accent the centre front and back of the neckline, which is adjustable with feminine ribbon drawstrings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neckline for View A drops just off the shoulder in the late 19th century style and uses purchased eyelet beading and lace or eyelet ruffles at the neckline and sleeve. The neckline of View B sits on the shoulder, as in earlier eras; it features a self-fabric ruffle and casing for the ribbon drawstring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstructions and alphabet designs for a Victorian monogram are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis sewing pattern is available to buy in the following formats:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e– PDF\u003c\/strong\u003e (available to download immediately after purchase). \u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fthefoldline.com%2Fhow-to-buy-sewing-patterns%2F\u0026amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7C2055db73b3ff43fa6a0c08d812112ec9%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637279212288807611\u0026amp;sdata=jGOEMr6nT4ZZme5CCL3wpMxImes8GGoiMxBHviYtfeQ%3D\u0026amp;reserved=0\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePDF\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e– PDF pattern + Printed A0 copy shop \u003c\/strong\u003e(We print out the A0 pattern sheets, but you’ll need to download the digital instructions, as we don’t print these.
