Period underwear


In my production of Phantom Manor, I would have a scene in the brides boudriour, in which her and her lady bridesmaid friends would be preparing her for her wedding. A scene not unlike "June Bride" from "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers", "Many a new day" from "Oklahoma" and dressing scenes from "Meet Me In St.Lois" and "Gone With The Wind", in which women and girls are dressing up or down for a party with a musical interlude or cheecky bannter witheachother. This is the type of scene I wish to portray within the Phantom Manor play at some point. SO, I want to create a set of a camisole and bloomers to match the petticoat and corset. Just a plain type of camisole with lots of trimming as the character in question is extremely rich but modestly simple, so a bold broidrey anglais is perfect with coresponding ribbon trim. The bloomers in cotton linen to breath and keep structure.
