I don't know if it's related at all — when Robin Netherton
demonstrated making a gothic fitted gown, she might or might not use
front and back gores depending on the figure of the wearer. If I
recall correctly, wide hips worked well with the flare at the sides,
and for a straight figure, center gores were needed to get the right
shape.
It may be a similar effect here, where the cut of the gown is
different for different people.

Just a note, Dame Angele taught me that putting a gore in the
front can cause problems. It can catch between your legs when
walking. In the end all you need is fullness, so perhaps consider
cutting only three gores and putting them on the sides and back.

I know gores front and back are done very frequently, but I too
prefer only sides, for this very reason. And I think the tunics
hang better this way, at least in linen and wool. Cotton is
stiffer, it might not work as well.
