Chemise Embroidery Designs, 1856-1860

 Looking through some old notes, I found these embroidery patterns for chemises (bands, yokes, and sleeves) from the late 1850s. I don't recall planning an embroidered chemise at that time, though it is certainly nice to dream.

 

Chemise Band embroidery from Peterson's, June 1859.

And yokes from the February and August 1859 issues of Peterson's:

And September of '57:

Many chemise band, yoke, and/or sleeve embroidery patterns from Godey's 1856-1857:

 

 

A nice simple embroidery design from The Hesperian, May 1859

Arthur's Home Magazine (1860) has three designs for chemises with embroidered components in their (with the embroidery described, though no patterns are not given). I'm including these because they give some interesting ways the embroidered segments can be used (aside from the obvious 'band or yoke across the top, sleeves at the sides').
