“Despair” Witch Linen Chemise

Halloween undertunic with bordering

Soon the world will go to the dark side and the night streets of cities will be filled with evil spirits, monsters and undead of all kinds. What role will you play at this crucial moment: a hunter or a prey? Halloween is not a good time to hesitate, so make your choice and choose wisely.

What would be under your witch dress? You’d be wrong to think that there would be nothing at all. Since ancient times, it has been common to wear a layer of fabric between your skin and outer clothes - chemise, underdresses, nightgowns, corsets, pantaloons, and in modern times: underwear! The chemise was a regular and a casual part of the outfit - not just to attract handsome knights, but also for more practical reasons. It is way easier to wash a thin chemise than a heavy coat or robe.

Where a modern witch could have stayed naked: in a bath, in bed, swimming in a river; in the Middle Ages, a chemise was a multipurpose garment that acted a swimsuit, pajamas, and even sexy underwear.

This chemise is sleeveless with open shoulders, a soft neckline, and a regular fit. As well as many other ArmStreet dresses, this one has a wide skirt: 3.5 to 4 yards (3.1 - 3.9 meters) along the bottom depending on the size. It has a high waistline and small loops in the seams on the back to hold a rope lacing that can be wrapped around as a belt or under the breast.

The decollete zone is decorated with a textile rope bordering, a subtle accent that shows the quality of the work and emphasizes the status of the owner. The straps are also made of the same fabric rope weaving. The chemise is supposed to be floor-length but can be made shorter by request. The material is also very special, this is softened flax linen we offer in a variety of colors.
