I wanted a chemise to wear under corsets, and I am tickled that I could alternatively wear this as a dress (I'm short) or over jeans or legging to go out. It fits me very well and looks terrific. I love the reactions I get from it. It works very well under the corsets. I may have to modify the sleeves, as if I wear it while working the sleeves will get in my paint. The fabric is flowing, something I prefer in a swishy skirt. Overall, I love this.
