| Commentaires : | This chemise belonged to Margaret Alicia Densmore 1884-1967 born of Lower Selme, Hants County. Margaret married a man named Harry Densmore. Harry and Margaret lived in Shibinckine where they owned a hotel. Margaret was the only girl with 5-6 brothers. There is a park of her former homestead with her parents this park is called Anthony Park. A chemise was worn over a corset to stop dust and other soil from getting into the corset. It also hid the bones of the corset to give a smoother look to the bodice. A chemise was a piece of clothing that developed from the Roman tunic and gained popularity in the European Middle Ages. Both men and women wore chemises. Women wore chemises, or shifts, under their gowns or robes. In this era the chemise was often the only garment that was washed regularly and thus the chemise also protected clean cloths from perspiration. The chemise began to fall out of favour in the 20th century with the advance of other undergarment types. In modern usage, a chemise refers to a loose-fitting, shirt-like undergarment. |
