Hello Everyone!
I am very excited for season 2 of Bridgerton and wanted to make a series of videos showing how I make various Regency and Bridgerton inspired pieces. My great hope is to make a full outfit in anticipation of Bridgerton.
In this video I show how to make a chemise. While the chemise isn't worn in the Bridgerton show, I do think it is a great first project and first layer to make. And for those that want a more historically accurate outfit, it is a must.
The Chemise is great to be worn under stays since it helps keep you stays cleaner longer - and can provide a little extra comfort as an extra layer between you and your stays. Plus this chemise makes for a cute and comfy nightie.
Be sure to check out the Chemise Pattern on my Etsy KittyJBerry:

I have made video about this style of chemise before, but I wanted to re-make this chemise in cotton, and share the pattern I have made for it. In my other video I hand drew out the pattern and made the chemise from a remnant of satin.

In this video my chemise is made from about 260cm of lightweight cotton fabric and white thread. I cinched up the neckline initially with white cord but later changed to a white ribbon and then added a piece of elastic. The white cotton fabric I used looks and feels great, it's lightweight and breathable, however it did fray super bad as I worked, and I had to use a dark background to sew on-top of so you could see what i was doing.
If you liked this video please stick around. I am hopeful to share a video about the short stays you see worn over the chemise at the end, and even a dress or two.
If you do end up using my pattern please show me / tag me on Instagram - I love seeing everyone's amazing projects.
