You can get away with (if it is Tudor/Henry VIII style) a

I was leaning towards the chemise under the smock too, since you wouldn't want
all that embroidery to have to be washed a lot and not only is the construction
easier, it's easier to wear as a smock than a partlet and sleeves with this
style of gown/sleeve, IMHO of course.

Zuzana, I've never come across this film before, but the dress in the

used to dress the leading ladies according to the modern taste for a "natural"
