Well, to make things much less clear, there are these patterns of women's
gowns from a similar time & place:

Specifically:

illustrated here:

and
http://www.elizabethancostume.net/Tailors/pages/f94V.html which is
illustrated here:

Now, the bottom two pieces on both patterns are almost certainly skirt
pieces, with the piece on the right being upside down. The top piece on the
1st pattern is almost certainly the sleeve, which leaves the middle (on the
1st pattern) and top (on the 2nd pattern) piece for the bodice.
The darn thing is nonsensical, though. No matter how I turn it around
mentally, it just refuses to coalesce into any useable bodice pattern piece.
Maybe I'll have to actually cut one out of a piece of scrap fabric and
experiment with it! It looks more like a short sleeve puff, but the edges
don't match up properly, and the 1st dress doesn't _have_ sleeve puffs.
