I'm looking for a good pattern for a chemise.

Any of my seamstress friends have one they like?

Fabric will be linen.

End result something along these lines. I can adjust the sleeve length and curve myself if I can find a good pattern for the body.

I found this online and can adjust length but I've never sewn in gussets like this before.

Making another waistcoat using my tried and trsted pattern. First time using suedette fabric. It feels a bit thicker than most of the stuff I've used before, but man does it take a good top stitch!
(The photo of course can't show you how strokeably tactile it is, this is going to take me twice as long to see it up as I keep stopping to check out the nap!)

Part of an in progress waistcoat in brown suedette fabric. A seem and a dart can be clearly seen due to a very neat and even topstitch line running along the seam. Sewing machine in background.

John Tenniel is famous for illustrating Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through The Looking-Glass.
Here is his darker depiction of a view through the looking-glass, revealing a seamstress who died doing round the clock overtime to meet the demands of the high-society Season.
One wonders what Tenniel would have made of modern fast fashion.

A black and white drawing of a lady in a ballgown, attended by a dressmaker, looking at herself in a large mirror. She is startled at the reflection of a dead seamstress in the mirror, leaning against the wall. The caption reads: The Haunted Lady; or "The Ghost" In The Looking-Glass. Madame la Modiste: "We would not have disappointed your ladyship, at any sacrifice, and the robe is finished à merveille."

My hand made variation on the Pretty As A Pea Dress from @emmydesignsweden. I did some hand smocking on the yokes, technique kindly supplied by @betty_sparkles_sewing_fun. This colour is hard to capture. It's a nice dark green, not petrol.

I used a lekala pattern as a base and picked the sleeves from #Simplicity8506.

Fabric is a polyester crepe from @driessenstoffen.nl

My shoes are my beloved Juliette from @memeryshoes.
