I decided to pursue the idea of a history lesson via apparel. For this journey, #AmericanGirlDoll Rachel is going to model the facets of getting dressed in the Colonial Era.
The first step is the shift. I chose the Fancy Shift pattern by Thimbles and Acorns on #PixieFaire.
I chose a simple white cotton and a half inch white crochet lace. I used the faux gusset sleeve style.
This shift features lace at the neckline, a drawstring neckline and a tapered sleeve edged in lace.
The pattern features a summary of the shift and its role in Colonial Era dressing.
