Does this look ok??

[Tammy]

For my birthday this year I was gifted this lovely bodice. I was planning on sewing my own chemise and skirt for faire...but other things took precedence. I'm still gonna do the skirt, as it won't take long. I've never sewn a chemise, and I'm not good with sleeves. My mom bought me this cute peasant top from Old Navy...and I had the silly idea that it might work...just for this one trip to faire.

So...what do ya think? Does it look stupid? It has cute blue embroidery...and the bodice and dragon are blue...   Of course...this is without the skirt.

The peasant top looks just fine! That's what my daughter usually wears.

[Tammy]

Thank you. I know I can't be h/a, but I just didn't want to look stupid for mixing modern with faire stuff.

Thanks!!!!

Very pretty - goes well w/the bodice & most important - you'll be happier knowing your chemise layer is well made.

  wow that does look cute thanks for posting this i might have to make a purchase or two at my old navy!

[LadyShadow]

I agree, it does look good.  Maybe I might be visiting Old Navy as well.

[Tammy]

Thank you SO much ladies!! You've given me the confidence to feel good wearing that peasant blouse.
Old Navy has them in several colors...for $25.00.

that one looks great but trust me don't be afraid to make your own chamise, they are so simple that i can do them and will only cost ya about 5-10 out cheap fabric

I actually have the fabric...and I will make my own chemise...but I'm running out of time. I'm going to faire this weekend in Georgia.

the 2nd style of chemise should only take about an 1 at the most to make

I like it! and it is cute short-sleeved, a little cooler! the only thing that would worry me is fabric content. so much modern clothing has unatural fibers, which could make you hotter, even in the short sleeves. But, for a fill-in, I think it is lovely!

[Tammy]

It's actually 100% cotton...and it's SO thin, that without anything over it...there's NO way I could wear it bra-less!!

tammy my suggestion is put a white wife beater under it and also i think it looks great i don't have a chemise either i just used the shirt i got at fest last year and it worked great  Just next time i know to pull the ribbon tighter

[Tammy]

I just wanted to thank everyone again. I did wear the peasant blouse...and was even complimented on it by a cast member!!

[Lady Christina de Pond]

  that is always a good thing
