Chemise Post #7: Catching up…

Marie-Therese and Louis-Charles, Ludwig Guttenbrun, c. 1785.
Here’s another painting of Marie-Therese and her little brother, showing her wearing a chemise gown. Just wanted to throw this out there, as an addendum to my last post. Today’s post is going to be brief, as I have some catching up to do on other projects.
One interesting thing that I want to point out about this particular chemise, is what looks like a double row of tucks about calf-level on the skirt. Very practical, as the tucks could be let out as she grew.
Tomorrow’s post will be on the chemise gown in England! Stay tuned!
