18th century Chemise

The first thing I made for the 18th century was the chemise.
It makes sense to start with the first thing you would put on right?

I used the chemise pattern that came in the Simplicity pattern I used for my stays.
The chemise I cut out ( using the measurements on the pattern) was quiet big so decided to re-cut it a few sizes down and it still seems big, but I think it's the right look. I have to cut my ribbon a bit they are just too long. That's an easy fix.
It took me four hours with cutting and re-cutting  to put the chemise together. Really easy pattern to follow. I want to make another one.

I'm not going to take pictures of it on until I finished the stays and pockets hoops cause it's very sheer You can see everything. I can't wait to see it with everything on cause now it looks like a old school nightgown.
