Oh my goodness, that looks gorgeous! I especially love the little heart-shaped reinforcement, and the foofy cuffs look wonderful. You're so skilful, I can barely mend my socks.
The loose, blousy look is great, like a genuine 18th century one. I was watching this video from Liverpool Museums about 18th century dress, and apparently because the tails were so long and tucked into the breeches, a lot of men didn't bother with underwear? :/ I guess the linen was easy to change and wash every day.
