I've been inspired by Irish immigrants during the Civil War and thought it would be cool to incorporate a bit of a Celtic feel into my Civil War clothes. I started with the chemise by designing an embroidery pattern inspired by some Celtic designs.

The yoke front and back are embroidered with creamy embroidery thread:
I'm not sure if I'll do everything Celtic inspired...but I have fun playing around with different ideas! :)

It is truly a thing of beauty.
Very pretty! I'm sure the Irish ladies of the era would be proud of it.
