question about chemise gown

[madamemodiste]

Can anyone tell me about how many yards the chemise gown (chemise a la reine) requires? Would 4 yards of 60" be right? 5 yards? I'm 5'5" with a 27" waist and small bust.

Also, I found a ton more of that pretty cotton voile at the Joann's here in Vermont. Would that be ok to use to make this garment? (see the fabric HERE)?

Thanks, guys!!

People are always shocked when they see me in the flesh! Between the hats and the platform shoes I wear under those long skirts, I appear much taller than I really am.

O_o You're only 5'2"!? See, I thought you were like 5'9"!!
