Hi,
I am a little embarrased to ask, because i really aught to know and have
made this before, but actually i never made a chemise before because i
always just edged my dresses with lace.
But i want to construkt after Jean Hunniset's chemise.
My lady meassures 21 inches from under the arms and
the neckline, so that it can
be perfectly fitted to the dress neckline. I will use 2 inches extra,
Thanks for this
Bjarne

I am assuming that this is a 1700s outfit. (got in the topic late)a
suggestion and not this is how it's done. If you have a double row of
lace/ruffle on the sleeve, you could have the lace/ruffle that is near the
skin sewn to the chemise and the top lace/ruffle sewn to the dress.
