Yeah, I'm planning to pleat the neckline into a plain bias band, as in the Italian chemise instructions at festiveattyre.com. I know it's probably not the correct technique, but it looks good. And hey -- pleats! :) I wish I felt I could justify spending $20 on Ms. McGann's pattern, but I can't right now. Someday...

I vaguely remember a few looked like the sleeve tapered to the wrist with an approx. width opening that a splayed out hand could get through it. A rough idea of one style of a leine http://tinyurl.com/2ph8lh It's been a long while since I have looked at the subject of the leine so there may have been found some new info somewhere. Side note, the neckline was not drawstringed. I would not rule out drawstring totally as there may have been a 1% chance of their existance.
