What do  you think i should, gather or pleat?



How about lots of tiny pleats....a compromise.
 
Or cut the jacket skirts directly into the bodice pieces....but then you  
have a different jacket.
 
On "Last of the Mohicans" one of the boned jacket-bodices I made for the  
towns women had a gathered skirt like this. I found it in a drawing  from 
"Costume in Detail" I think....anyway I had to show the drawing to the  
designer 
before I did it. It was a garment for an adult. I was just looking for  some 
variety in the 16 jackets I had to make off the same basic  pattern.
