DIY Regency Chemise - Bridgerton Undergarments - 18th Century Shift
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
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.

i've been watching tutorials to sew chemises for over half an hour now but as a beginner I was bit confused by the other videos. You explained it so clearly I actually understood it finally esp how the gusset works. Thank you!
Honestly so well explained, thank you. Love how you were really clear and repeated things
Currently making this and its so much fun. Cant wait to start on the short stays! Great pattern and great sew along! ❤
Thank you thank you thank you for this. I bought the pattern and made along with the video and I’ve never been happier with something I’ve sewed. I’m an absolute beginner and I’m so pleased - I did mine with a king size bedsheet so I still have enough fabric for another! I honestly think it’ll be my go to nightie

I love the idea of using a bed sheet! Thank you so much for your lovely comment 💖 it means to much to hear you enjoyed the pattern and video, keeps me inspired ☀️
I’m in the process of making this chemise. Practicing with cheap muslin as I am a new at sewing. But you’re an excellent teacher. Everything is so clear and easy to follow. Your pattern I purchased on Etsy is also very easy to understand.

Thank you so much for your lovely comment! I am so happy to hear the instructions make sense :) I did my best, but I know it can be quite tricky, especially the sleeve!
Thank you so much 🤍🤍 Extremely helpful 😊
Such a cute, simple garment, exactly what I was looking for. I'm a novice, so I'm excited to practice my flat fell seam on this. Your explanation was clear and concise, I'll be making this in the morning! Love it, good job :)
🤗Welcome back lovley! So excited to see your work.

Made this chemise from cotton gause material but sleeveless! It's so comfy!
Great step by step tutorial. Love your pattern.
Wow, it turned out incredible!
Great description 👍
I love that. I have been looking for a simple dress with an elastic neckline that can be made for any season. This pattern would work nice for that

It's a bit sheer because it's an undergarment, so you might want a thicker fabric or lining (or a chemise under your chemise 😂)

Thank you for your amazing comment!! What an amazing word choice, I am flattered to be thought that way! Thank you!
Can you make it with long sleeves? If so, how? Would you just make long rectangle for sleeves instead of small?
@KittyJBerry

Yes you could extend the sleeve rectangle for a longer sleeve. That would certainly be one option.
Also whats the best fabric for this? I got ton of beige flanellete - like flannel from cotton, and I want to use it to make this but I dont know if its too thick...

I think the flanellete would be too thick. The thick fabric may cause bulky gathers around the neckline, and it might be uncomfortable under a corset. It might also be very warm, maybe too warm under lots of layers. You could try the flannellete / flannel - if you just wanted to wear this chemise as a nightgown, not layer it under a corset - it could possibly work. However, I recommend using linen or cotton for a chemise, something light weight and breathable.

@@ruthannemarie2668 Hi Muslin fabric should be good. Muslin is 100% cotton and should breathe well. However, Muslin can come in a wide range of weights, from delicate to coarse. Just Be sure to choose a Muslin fabric that feels nice against the body, You don't want it rough against your skin rubbing you all day. I hope this helps!
Is this pattern no longer available?
