Elizabeth Swann Chemise

Here is my replica of Elizabeth Swann's chemise from Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl. It is worn underneath her Gold Gown worn to Norrington's promotion ceremony.

I drafted my own pattern and everything is completely hand stitched. Hers is made of dotted swiss but I made mine from a white on white cotton print.


"Prepare to walk the plank..."








I think the sleeves are my favorite part. :)
And I love this lace: And of course the outfit wouldn't be complete with out the proper "effects". ;)

"You don't know what this is...do you?"
"If it's of no value then there's really no point in me keeping it."


You can see construction notes for this chemise on my blog The Art of Clothes.

I'm currently making Elizabeth's corset...and hopefully soon after her gold gown. I'm love to make all her costumes one day. :)
