By the way, looking at the chimera costumes' web page, is there any
historical evidence of this kind of dress:

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.
Sorry, that was what I meant. Gores per se were definitely used in
Medieval clothing-- it's the contrasting fabric that I've seen no
evidence for.
