My problem: every painting of the Spanish style of the time shows
unpleated skirts, at least in front. Alcega's pattern produces a skirt
that would have to be pleated (the front panels alone are 28 cm each
at the waist, as indicated on the pattern, and the back panels are
even wider).
What would you do? Follow Alcega, or follow the portraits of the period?
FWIW, the skirts in Patterns of Fashion are flat for several inches in
the front, and then deeply pleated on the sides and back. I think that's
what I'd do.
