Gisela wearing 1900s dress

Chemisettes were called "shirtwaists" at that time and a fire in a factory making them was a signal event in USA history because workers who could not leave the factory died resulting in early safety rules.

Gisela's dress is a great example of a blouson, "pouter pigeon," bodice; its gauzy lace upper band, sleeves, and engageantes add her personal touch. The blouson bodice and complex sleeves date this to the early 1900s. Her bodice could be formed by a blouse. The upper bodice and complex sleeves are focal points of her dress.
