I dont think the bumme needs to be attached. It's supported with
those things called hips. Since the narrower part that ties goes
under the corset CF it's wont twist on the body.

Exactly. That straight-laced smooth body is sooooo much easier to
fit with a smooth bodice than lumpy loose modern women. No, the
bodice is not "padded", the interior structure is interfacing. Basic
Butterick & Simplicity sewing skills cannot reproduce the effect. Get
one of the Couture "how-to" books like Palmer-Pletch or Shaeffer.
Once you learn how modern couture construction technically works, you
will understand Janet Arnold, Blanche Payne, Norah Waugh and others'
notes and pictures better.
I'm hoping to get my copy of The Tudor Tailor soon. When I started
costuming there just werent any books around on early construction and
tailoring, only on cutting diagrams.
