Caveat: It’s a reproduction, but an excellent one.  The ladies of the Millinery Shop at Colonial Williamsburg (pictured is one of their journeywomen) absolutely know their stuff.
I have closeups of the gown if anyone wants them (the photos aren’t nearly as nice, but they show a good amount of detail)

I know I don’t normally post portraits, but this portrait of Mme Seriziat is gorgeous…and a perfect chemise à la reine.  (I will also take her husband - those breeches!)
