Title: linen chemise
Post by: Hausfrau Monica on May 06, 2015, 11:23:53 AM
We've lately been converted to the comfort of wearing linen.  I'm now trying to source a linen chemise for my garb and perhaps a linen shirt for my hubby to wear with his kilt.  Any recommendations and trusted on-line shops? Any vendors at CoRF?

Although I have never personally bought from them, I know many people that have:

Thanks for the information Isabella.  Beautiful things on that site...  and the price point is what I expected. I'd appreciate hearing from anyone that has ordered from them in the past and their comments please.

I purchased my linen chemise from Armstreet and LOVE it. It fit perfectly and breathes so well. Spent all weekend at Scarb in 82/sunny weather and had no trouble. The quality of this item was fantastic, though I did have a friend hem it a little for me.
