Historically accurate undergarments are a well-fit ted corset\, chemise\, petticoats\, and hoop\, bum pad\, or bustle\, if yo u will be wearing one is highly recommended.  Petticoats\, hoops\, and bu stle/pad affect the fit of your bodice\, so please bring them if you will be wearing them.  It is perfectly fine not to wear historical undergarmen ts\, but you must have all the undergarments you plan to wear at the first class and every class thereafter.
