jennylafleur's and demode's classes?!)
I will add an apron, though. That's about the only thing I can do to it, being a not-polonaise round gown. Besides maybe some self-trim on cuffs or around the neckline. So what shall it be: Plain lawn, fine striped voile*, or the semisheer windowpane leftover from the Regency?
* There may be only half a yard of that. It's in the stash for 1860s undersleeves...
And is it okay for the shift neckline to show? Because my stays were totally peeking out the last time I wore this dress. The massive fichu covered all (and I mean ALL) but still, that's kind of fail. I don't want to HAVE to have a poofy cloud of linen around my neck to wear this dress.
