Cameos - #234 Folkwear sewing pattern for 2 camisoles - Tucking & Lace technique

WOMEN'S SIZES XS-3XL - Sewn Camisoles
WOMEN'S SIZES XS-2XL - Knitted and crocheted camisoles

Four feminine camisoles are included in this pattern - two to sew, one to knit and one to crochet. Both sewn camisoles button in front and are from the late Victorian period. Our long-sleeved original came from England very close to the turn of the century. The sleeveless version was worn in about 1890, when bodices were tight; fullness in the back "peplum" was meant to accommodate a bustle.

The Long-Sleeved Camisole is gathered into a simple peplum. Groupings of tucks are interspersed with optional lace insertion. The scoop neckline is adjusted with a drawstring and finished with inserted lace, beading and edging lace. The waistline drawstring laces through beading, and edging lace finishes the peplum and tucked cuffs.

Our alluring Sleeveless Camisole is closely fitted by princess seaming and darts, flaring out below the waist in back.

Candi Jensen designed two more camisoles for you to knit or crochet. The Knitted Camisole has short, puffed sleeves, a scoop slip over neck, and a self drawstring waist with a short peplum.

The Crocheted Camisole is a sleeveless, scoop neck camisole/vest designed especially to be worn over the Long-Sleeved Camisole in this pattern.
