I like the patterns from her but this one was just disappointing. I’m not sure what it’s supposed to look like on a person as there’s no photos but mine does not seem to fit. I did my size correctly and everything is correct but the yoke isn’t big enough to fit properly. I’m not sure what’s happening and I really don’t have time to make another but I think I may have to.

I made both the chemise and drawers from this pattern. I found the chemise pattern to be pretty straightforward. I didn’t have a problem with the yoke because the neckline of the chemise body gets gathered to fit within the yoke. I’d definitely make the chemise again if I needed another.
The drawers gave me a little trouble because I didn’t realize the legs don’t get sewn together. This is historically accurate, I just didn’t know it. The pattern instructions do say there is no crotch seam, but I had to watch a video to understand the legs are sewn to the waistband but not to each other. Once I realized that, it was easy to finish the drawers.
An actual picture of both pieces would be helpful though.
