@Lulu 21 - For me, it was pretty much the length of the main part of chemise, plus twice the length of the flounce, but I was using really wide cotton (230cm). It meant I could get both front & back out of the width...so probably 80cm + 2x15cm = 1.1m. If you use more normal 115 or 150 cm width fabric you'll need more.
There are bound to be simple slip dress patterns around that you could just add a flounce to. I’m currently experimenting with a pattern design program that might let me make some of these sorts of simple designs available for download, but that may be a while off yet.
Your train carriage, Australia at a guess, looks just like our commuter train carriages here in Dublin, down to the same fabric covering the seats. Worldwide conspiracy anyone!!!!????? Nice petticoat. Am thinking of making mine from a combination of a mediaeval pattern and a regency pattern, using cotton voile because lightweight linen is impossible to obtain at the moment. Might have to shop online in Australia or New Zealand if the fabric draught continues.
I just saw your comment! I was in Dublin not all that long ago, and felt remarkably at home on the trains - now I know why! In hindsight, I wished I’d used a lighter fabric than I did, but I guess in the end we go with what we can get (or have at the time). Hope yours works out well!
Ha! I went looking for ideas for a chemise and found The TMI Channel, I think I am going to like it here!
Lol - I should call it that :) I hope you managed to get your own chemise made.

Hi! Lovely work. I'd like to know how much fabric and lace you used, as this is exactly what I'm looking for my first chemise

I just found your channel and i would love to find a nice pattern like this one. Do you have any suggestions

Sorry, your music is too loud to hear you.
