It should work as the basis for the bodice. You'll want to remove the 
shoulder straps and position them to sit very low and wide on the 
shoulders like that.


The shoulder puffs are probably decorative, and not part of the camicia 
under the dress.

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

http://www.elizabethancostume.net/Tailors/
Specifically:
http://www.elizabethancostume.net/Tailors/pages/f101V.html which is 
illustrated here:

http://www.elizabethancostume.net/Tailors/pages/f102R.html
and
http://www.elizabethancostume.net/Tailors/pages/f94V.html which is 
illustrated here:

http://www.elizabethancostume.net/Tailors/pages/f94R.html

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.

I plan on using Simplicity 7215

for the camicia but will change the sleeves a bit.

This is the fabric I got for the dress.
