"The fabric was light, thin, tightly woven (i.e. not the most "breathable" fabric). But even when layering, the fabric is light enough for hot weather. The white chemise is a little sheer, so wear your appropriate undergarments for modesty. Also be aware that the fabric doesn't hide or smooth anything for bigger, curvy bodies, even with both chemise and overdress layers. The front of the bodice has "boning" next to the laces, but the laces zigzag through delicate fabric loops that will break if you try to make them snug.
I wasn't going for period accuracy. I was looking for something sort of themed for a renaissance faire, but also loose, light, and cooling for a bigger person like me in hot weather. For the price, this fit the bill."
