Undergarments for Chemise a la Reine?

[madamemodiste]

I need to make a chemise and a petticoat for the chemise a la reine. I have a corset already. I have a pattern for the chemise, but what kind of petticoat do I need to make? Advice on how full it should be? Do I wear a bum roll?

Should they be of linen or cotton? Light weight, I assume.

LOL, we were just talking about that comm, in the comments above, probably just as you were posting. Great minds!

It makes it easier to find all this info in one community, than trying to remember it or find it later when I decide to make mine. Just not a priority right now but definitely in the workplan.

And why the heck when I paste the http in, it puts it in the middle of the sentence I was typing before it? Now that link isn't working.
