1770's Round Gown

So here is my latest project. I have made the entire ensemble that a typical, middle class woman in the 1770's might have worn.
Starting here with my shift. The cotton isn't exactly accurate, but the fine hand is appropriate for the period. The shape and construction is also accurate except for the machine sewing. It is quite sheer…which is why my modern panties are visible :p
