I still haven't finished binding my stays after several months oops. Currently, I'm focused on making a chemise a la reine. I was planning on making the usual white dress until I saw this self-portrait by my favorite painter Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun.
I love how it's an unexpected take on the chemise gown. I also love the red sash. For my own, I don't think I would include the collar though.
I found several more pictures of a black chemise a la reine, which are on a Pinterest board which can be found here.
I'm planning on using a pattern by Laughing Moon (here) with fitted sleeves. Now I need to find fabric!
