How authentic does it have to be? if only quasi- authentic, make a tube,

However, the tabs seem to droop - I've likened them to a row of floppy
dogs ears! And the large size while not unflattering when I'm wearing
it doesn't look "right" to me; I think I might be comparing it in my
mind to the smaller tabs found on women's stays of the same period.

I also think they do look just a little limp. I always interline my 1640s

I have a question about the size/shape of doublet tabs/"skirts" on
men's doublets ca. 1600-1610.

Jeeze you guys make me SOOO happy that all my
costuming interest is in a very limited range of time

As far as I know, shirts of that period just had a narrow neckband or a
