This outfit is worn by Felicity in the book Changes for Felicity. It was introduced in 1991 and retired with Felicity's archival in 2010.
PC description: Felicity's night shift is edged with lace around the sleeves and neck. The matching lappet cap has long flaps, called "lappets," that tie under her chin. To keep her feet warm on her bedroom's bare wooden floor, Felicity wore soft leather slippers called "mules."
Grade: A -
This is a sweet and historically accurate outfit for Felicity. It's not too over the top, and seems realistic to her time. Plus, there are nice details, like the ribbon that allows you to gather the bodice.
However, the mules are a little over-simplistic, and even a bit flimsy. The outfit is boring - yes, white was realistic, but does everything have to be pure white? I wish they had added just a little bit of embroidery or detail somewhere in this outfit. For example, the lace could have been an off-white cream or something along those lines.
