I tried recreating a c. 1900 chemise from a Norwegian museum, including making the lace by hand.
Not everything went according to plan, but at least I got to use my gorgeous antique hand-turned sewing machine!
The following links are only in Norwegian I am afraid, but the pictures are pretty.
Chemise from Mjøsmuseet.
