Chemise a la Reine
Jun. 8th, 2012 04:56 pmI'm planning to go to Bastille day with a few fabulous friends in chemise gowns. Anyone in the philly area or beyond is welcome! I've wanted a Chemise a la Reine for ages so I'm really pleased to have an excuse...I started doing a bit of research...and it's been a tad bit of a rabbit hole. I've now got a pinterest board of all the examples I've found...now I'm interested in written mentions. I'm trying to figure out in my head the difference between a Chemise a la Rein and a Gualle. I thought Chemise was a modern term but this fashion plate says Chemise a la rein on the bottom in what appears to be original type, but I suppose that could be wrong.

That being said I also don't speak french....
hiraimi? Help!
