oops you didn't see that

[(Anonymous)]

Regency is not my period but I know enough to know you're on the right track. I think the only objection is whether that is genuinely a men's shirt; the buttons are on the "mens" side and Regency women didn't really wear anything buttoned at all, especially as a bottom layer. Even if she's outside gardening or something in the scene, there's no reason - not even comfort - for her to be wearing a buttoned shirt in that time period. Doubly so if, as I recall, the characters of the book are supposed to be of a non-laboring class and no one in the house would even own a shirt like that.

ayrt

Right, but is it supposed to have buttons or is that just a wardrobe thing for ease of use? Like, would it be arranged differently when they are actually filming so any buttons that are there don't actually show?

nayrt - Men's shirts didn't have buttons down the front like that, nor collars like a modern men's shirt. Women didn't wear shirts like that underneath their gowns, they wore a chemise which looks like a very basic slip dress pulled over the head with no buttons, and a wide scoop neckline.

I don't really see how this outfit could be arranged so that the buttons didn't show because the gown in the pic has a low neckline. A fichu wouldn't be enough to fully hide that collar. Maybe if she wore a high-necked pelisse, but then why have a shirt collar with buttons at all? It'd be easier to wear something that didn't have fabric that would bunch up beneath whatever you're wearing over top.
