Chemise Giulia, viscose, natural

Product description

When building a historical outfit, everything starts with the right base layer. This chemise is exactly that: a light, soft underdress of viscose crêpe that you wear directly against your skin. The natural colour and lightly textured fabric give the garment an authentic, undyed appearance that suits virtually any time period.

Throughout the centuries, this type of garment fulfilled the same role: it protected the more precious, woolen outer clothing against body fat and sweat. From the high medieval period, when it was worn as long linen undergarment under cloaks, to the early modern period, when the neckline moved with changing fashion — the chemise remained the indispensable first layer of every outfit.

This underdress is made with a generous fit, with long, puffed sleeves that are tied at the wrist. This way you can wear it not only under a dress or tunic, but also loosely with trousers for a relaxed look. Available in sizes XS/S/M/L and XL / XXL, so there is a suitable size for every body type.
