Oh, I wonder if she means an early 1800's style dress (think Jane Austen), that would probably make quite a statement given the style the ladies are currently wearing! 😯
I thought she would wear a silky dress or smth, but yeah chemise is good too, though I can't help but think of chemise dresses being very informal, so I'm really surprised right now, unless....is it like the one from Tiara Luna Empire?
Historically, yes, a chemise dress is a little informal to be a ball gown, but I think the idea is that she’s beating Charlotte at her own game. ‘Lady Lily’ is supposedly starting a new, more casual fashion with her dress, but it will still appear ostentatious besides the light, flowy chemise. Rather than trying to be the bell of the ball, Ayla/MC just wants to cause a stir and take the attention away from the supposed FL.
