First of all, I don't know a whole lot about historical undies, I just know I love them! I'll let someone else review their accuracy.
I was a little surprised at the color - they looked very pale pink online, but they're a bit brighter in person.
I love that the hoop is flexible. I could get Cécile's dress on over it without any problem, which is great. I was worried I'd have to pull her dress over her head and risk messing up her curls. It comes right to the end of her meet dress, so I hope they don't skimp on fabric on any future dresses, or you might have to adjust the hoops to hide them.
The chemise makes her meet dress just a bit tight, but not bad. Also, I found it a bit difficult to get her chemise to hide completely. Here's what I ended up with, but I'll try to work on it some more.
Finally, the necessary before and after undies photos:
Before
After
Overall, A+ just cause I'm thrilled AG is making undies again!
