I thought I'd share with you my most recent endeavor. I have decided to try recreating a nightdress from Godey's 1861 vol. 62. I am making this out of white flannel that I purchased at Joanns. This is not a correct fabric for midcentury, but it will suit my purposes perfectly. I have ripped out the two lengths for the body and drafted a yoke from the 1838 Workwoman's Guide Plate 8 Fig 7.
I am just about ready to start working on the sleeves. I will also add some handmade lace trim along the placket. For the lace, I have a couple of ideas from a midcentury publication that I'd like to try to knit.
