Bespoke shift (or chemise), suitable for 1770-1780 or late 18th century.
The shift is made of pure linen and all the finishing, inside and outside, are hand-sewn.
The neckline is adjustable with a drawstring: the whipped eyelets, two at center front and two and the center back of the neckline, are hidden inside and made with silk thread (it's possible to request them in faux silk too).
This shift reaches below the knees and the two gores on the sides give the chemise extra fullness.
The sleeves stop before the elbow to better suit the shape of the gown's sleeves of the period and each have a gusset under the arms.
The chemise will be made in white linen like the one in pictures: send a message before purchase if you want/prefer a different color.
Also any design/fabric change and/or any addition of decorative details must be requested before purchase and involve a variation in costs.
