An 18th Century Petticoat and Chemise

I used Simplicity pattern S8162 to create a petticoat, bumpad, and chemise to go along with my 18th Century corset -- so all the undergarments for an 18th Century dress. I made the bumpad out of an old sheet but purchased materials for the petticoat and the chemise. I had a lot of difficulty with the petticoat since it was my first time sewing boxed pleats... and also struggled to get the drawstring closures to work. I also worried that the bumpad was too big, but after looking it up, I think that it's the appropriate size for the period. I also used a tutorial from youtube by Loepsie to create a medieval-looking hairstyle.
