Sunday, November 13, 2011I love the combination of linen and lace and decided to try and buy all handmade this season.
So many gorgeous items to choose from. Some of my favourites....

Lace Chemise and Petticoat Tales
Tuesday, March 9, 2010
"A chemise, shift, or smock was usually sewn at home, by the women of a household. It was assembled from rectangles and triangles cut from one piece of cloth so as to leave no waste. The poor would wear skimpy chemises pieced from a narrow piece of rough cloth; the rich might have voluminous chemises pieced from thin, smooth fine linen."

Today the term chemise often refers to women's fashions that vaguely resemble a shift, or under garment, but are usually more delicate and provocative.
