You could sew a strip of fine white cloth behind the buttonholes so that it shows through and looks like a shift (perhaps a strip around the wrist too so it looks like you have shift sleeves underneath).
It does look lovely however, and I don't think anyone but you will notice that there is something (skin, shift, whatever) showuing through from behind the buttonholes.
I certainly didn't think about it until I read the rest of the message. I just thought it looked very elegant.
