Description
In medieval times, the chemise was an essential undergarment worn beneath every lady’s attire. Its primary role was practical: to shield the outer garments from sweat and oils, helping to keep costly fabrics cleaner for longer. Often, these linen shifts were worn to bed, providing a simple layer of comfort through the night. This particular chemise features long sleeves and shoulder ties, a style reminiscent of Celtic dress traditions, lending an authentic touch to your gown. Crafted from a poly-cotton blend, it requires gentle hand washing to maintain its shape and feel.
