what kind of fabric would you recommend for the sew along
Whoops, I see a bit of the post didn't copy over. I've added it back in now, but here it is too:
What kind of fabric?
For the type of fabric I’d recommend cotton or linen for the historic feeling, but go with whatever brings you joy and isn’t stretchy. It needs to be light enough you can gather it up without it getting bulky and not terribly prone to fraying so you won’t go insane while sewing
Go with what is available and sparks joy as long as it’s a light fabric that gathers down nicely. (Thin sheets or table cloths can definitely be used for this). I’m going to use a fuchsia silk I’ve been saving for the airiest dress in existence.

Interest check
I'm probably going to be running a little low stakes sewalong again at the end of this January ('25).
Should we do the Italian chemise or the simplified shirtsleeves? This remains subject to my whims, but:
#the shirt would not have the annoying neck pieces#the chemise is still easier#and makes a divine summer dress#I'd make a long sleeve version this time#and i do need a new shirt for a castle picknick I'm doing in may#a talia original#talia's adventures in dressmaking#silly polls#sewalong chatter#asking for opinions#interest check#image id in alt text#i realised i do not need more petticoats#but i can definitely make a post to explain those

Oh a petticoat or chemise sewalong sounds fantastic! Please do!
One more vote for underpinnings, thank you very much!

You could probably make a fitted bedsheet work! You may have to compromise on lenght or sleeve floof, but if the sheet is for a big bed it's probable doable.
You can see the calculation and cutting pattern in my step zero post here
