Repro Regency Chemisette in Fine White Netting

Modern reproduction of a Regency-era modesty blouse, meant to fill in the neckline of plunging dresses. This one, from my personal collection, is made of a fine, white tulle.

• Feels light as a feather, just lovely.
• Three rows of neck ruffles.
• Closes at the neck with adjustable cotton tie and at the hem with adjustable slim ribbon.
• Chemisette means "little shirt" in French. In addition to being stylish, these were similar in purpose to a modern dickey, adding coverage for occasions where showing too much skin would be inappropriate.
• Could, theoretically, be worn with the opening at the back, although that isn't historically accurate and the shoulder seams indicate front opening.
