"sure it is possible for someone to hand sew the garment itself with linen thread..."
There is a miscommunication. I believe you asked about using linen thread to sew the garment (in whatever way), and there was no indication on my part to hand sew the garment with linen thread (nor did it cross my mind). I suggested cotton or silk to do the job is ideal, and if you wanted to use linen (mention of wanting to have it be 'all' linen), then perhaps hand sewing on the lace if desired would be possible, but that cotton or silk would do it more invisibly and easier as linen can tend to be temperamental and break. My background is haute couture, French Heirloom and all forms of needlework, so was sharing sewing insights from practical & esthetic, to timeless & ease with best results (of which sewing machines do very well).
