The chemise a la reine was an absolute PR nightmare for Marie Antoinette when it first premiered in 1783 at the Salon in Paris. That didn't stop it from becoming the most popular gown for the next few years. I decided to make my own, based on an extant at the Musee de Toile de Jouy in France. In this video, I talk about the history of this gown, as well as make my own, including making hundreds of embroidered sprigs for the fabric.
I always get asked this: the yellow dress I’m wearing is from Linennaive.com !
