When looking around at patterns, I found two I really loved
I loved the button shoulders and general shape of the simplicity pattern, but I really liked the shaped yoke of the Laughing Moon Chemise. Both of these are historically correct.
(See two quick examples)

I just could not decide, so why not combine the two things I loved into one garment. I.E. a chemise with a shaped yoke, and button shoulders. Then came the big decision, what was I going to make them out of, how would I trim them? I want to go all out on my underpinnings. I dug through all of my trim stash and found some of the prettiest trims, all in a dark ivory. They looked beautiful when paired with some ivory cotton, darker but a nice contrast, and they looked beautiful with each other. So no traditional white undies for me. :-)
On to my chemise. I draped the yoke and I couldn't resist trying out my new embroidery machine on it.
Well that turned out so nice, I just had to use that design on the rest of my undergarments somehow.
