By the way, looking at the chimera costumes' web page, is there any historical evidence of this kind of dress: http://chimera-costumes.co.uk/slideshows/view.php?c=43 ? I mean the gores in the skirt (or lower part of the dress) - does anybody know?

I've seen it more than twice in SCA wear, but I've never seen any evidence hat it's a period style.

It's not so much the gores--it's the gores in contrasting fabric. Were the gores in the same fabric as the main body, the cut isn't half bad, although I'm not sure about ten separate inserted gores.
