Square necklines became popular in the late 19th century, around the same time that the silhouette of dresses changed from huge gowns to a design that elongated the bodice over the hips. Following this, our Celeste chemise is perfect for any fan of historical fashion that is looking for a modern underdress that can be worn under long bodices and corsets.
More than this, the Celeste tapers in softly at the waist, before skirting around the hips and falling gracefully to the floor. Like our other chemises, Celeste can be worn under any of our overdress creations.
Let’s look at the sleeves of this chemise, which could have easily been worn by any maiden or princess walking around a castle’s grounds. With ties around the center of the upper arm, it’s possible to create a small poof with the fabric, while the bell sleeve adds a certain fantasy flair to the design.
Not feeling the princess look? Throw on some accessories and break out the crystal ball for a refined witchy ensemble, or keep it basic for a quick peasant piece.
