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 made it this morning after seeing it here:

I love that it's a big size so you can see detail well.

Thanks! I might have known it came from Kallisti, her site is such a fabulous resource. The detail on that is amazing! Even down to the hem of her skirts.
