About MeWhite cotton camisole or chemise with double darts running from bust-line to the waist, and a band of broad embroidered eyelet work around the neckline and sleeves.

This wide scooping neckline indicates the chemise is for evening wear, as in the mid 19th century it was fashionable to wear a dress low-cut and off the shoulders.
