In the 16th Century, many blackwork designs were created to display a
different pattern on the reverse side. I expect this is an example of
this work. To duplicate without learning the specific stitch pattern,
two layers will be required.

Hmmmmm... the needlework on the inside of the chemise collar is different
from the needlework on the outside of the collar. I would have
thought the two
would show through to the other sides, unless the white linen was
much heavier
than I expected. I wonder of there is an innerlining between the layers of
the collar... for stiffening.
