Chemisette
I used the Sense and Sensibility Regency Underthings chemisette pattern, which gives you two collar options (ruffled or pointed) and I went with ruffled (although I ended up knife pleating it) after seeing this picture.
The bottom seam is the only one that is machine sewn, all other seams are hand sewn (because I'm a sucker for punishment).
Oh, and its white cotton lawn (because I love the stuff!)
Cap
The cap is also white cotton lawn, and is based on this picture. The cap is a basic circle, with about 10cm cut off the bottom, this straight edge is then folded over twice (I made the fold about 1cm) and sewn down with the ends left open as I ran a ribbon through it to create an adjustable drawstring back.
The crown is a basic strip of fabric, long enough to go over my head from ear to ear, with the front corners rounded (I used a bowl). The frill is a very long strip of fabric that I cartridge pleated with a small running stitch (the cap is also cartridge pleated in this manner)
The decoration is French knots in a diamond pattern.
I have no idea what I'll be doing next month... If I'm brave enough, I will attempt a gown, if not, a bonnet.
