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.

I haven't made one of these, but there was some discussion of undergarments here: http://community.livejournal.com/chemisedresses/2189.html

Makes sense to tell me about it since they seem to cover all the things I'm asking about. Thank you!!!
