me. While the Alcega patterns don't show piecing in the front skirt
Ah, the pattern with the long pointed sleeves does, though. It's drawn as a cone, and the point has to be taken off and used to complete the bottom side of the front panel.
Also the Spanish girl's dress has a back panel wider than the front as does the Dorothea Sabine
As well as Alcega, at least that makes sense.
I don't know if you have noticed but all the skirts look very long compared to the bodices
The pattern I'm using seems reasonable enough. the skirt ends up 126 cm long, which is not excessive, if a little long on me (my hoops are 102 cm long and sit 2-3 inches above ground).
Extreme Makeover
Please send pics when you're done...
There will also be enough to make a matching corset (corpo baxo/corpino) though they tended to match the kirtle- thus why Alcega has them in the same pattern quite often ;)
I'm not there yet. I'm using my Margo's Patterns underpinnings. This will be the next step :-)
