My favorite Chemise style is the gathered, hugh necked style. Poofy sleeves, Ruffs at the Neck and Wrists. Sometimes trim with pearls. Always lace at the ends of the Ruffs.

According to body, fitting and size.  ;D

That us beautiful.  Love the whole ensemble.  I am wanting a high neck chemise more and more with every pic I see.

This is actually quite a nice view of it:

And is that some black lace edging the sleeves?

Lovely work!

Thank you! Yeah, I used birdseye cotton (which is amazing and comfy, but has a tendency to shrink) and it shrank up quite a bit, so I tacked a little bit of lace on to the wrists. Incidentally, I love love love the fabric outlets in Dallas. It was 20 cents a yards, so I now have like twenty zillion yards of the stuff. :D
