One-piece garment worn by women from later Middle Ages into Baroque period. Typically worn over a chemise or smock which acted as a slip and under the formal outer garment or gown/surcoat.

*** Eeeash...It's been nearly a year since my last post! I've been very bad about keeping this blog updated. A new job (and commute) has been taking up quite a lot of my time and sewing has really taken a back seat. However! I have several projects that are *this* close to being complete, I just need to finish off a few accessories or seams.
