Felicity's Undergarments were sold as part of her BeForever relaunch from February 2017 until re-archival in December 2019.
AG description: In Felicity’s day, girls wore these undergarments beneath their dresses: A white scoop-neck chemise that served as the first layer of clothing or could be used as a nightgown; Quilted stays with functional lace ribbon and fashionable tapestry print that provided a foundation for the top layers of clothing; A bumroll with ties to go around the waist and fasten on top of the chemise and stays; it was used to achieve lift at the back of the skirt for a true 1770s silhouette; White cotton shift with short sleeves and pleating around the front and back of neckline.
I like these, they are simple & straightforward. Everything seems to be cotton, the plain chemise is long enough, the adorable stays are quilted & easily fasten on the side with velcro, & the bumroll ties on over the stays. The ribbon on the stays is a pretty, deep coral & the print fabric is appropriate. Shown here with & without the bumroll. Worn by Ailith McAlpin, a Scottish Jacobite girl in the mid-1700s.
