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.

Thanks, Lady!! You rock!!

And I'm SOOO glad you liked the Wingeo pattern. I'm suffering from sticker shock on the RH pattern...$40 with shipping. I know it's top quality, but this is just for little ole me.

Oh wait. You mean you used the Wingeo for the underthings, not the gown. Darn it!

I was going to say they want $40 for a bum roll pattern! But no, I used the Waugh diagram for the dress and the Wingeo for the false rump.
