I’ve found that 4 84″ long panels are enough for a dress.

Chiffon is a modern fabric but produced mainly in polyester. For a true historical look go for silk chiffon.

And I really didn’t see anything wrong with the bodiced petticoat under your dress. It’s ok for it to not be *exactly* the same lines as your dress. It’s an undergarment and should be cut smaller/more narrow.

As for the chemise, it should be worn under your bodiced petticoat, as it would under a corset, to help protect and keep your supportive garment clean. So the layers: chemise, bodiced petticoat, any other petticoats then your gown.

The chemise at this time hits about knee to calf level and is pretty plain – no fancy embroidery or hand work. Your petticoat hem should be just a couple inches above your dress hem. You can always add a straight panel to the petticoat hem if you need to lengthen it.

I need to create one since (as you can see on my blog link) the bodiced petticoat doesn’t meet the edge of my dress bodice exactly, plus the thickness of the petticoat bodice creates some weird visuals through my actual dress skirt. My question is: How long should the chemise go? Just to the knees? Or should I have it be an extra petticoat, extending all the way to the floor so the weird cutoff point won’t show through in the sun?
