Making a 16th Century Kirtle : Walkthrough : Part One

Way more info is linked below! A blog post about making this will up soon on my wordpress! : https://doxiequeen1.wordpress.com/ Extra Info: -I used quilters cotton, canvas, and solid non stretch velvet. -Other materials include newsprint (pattern paper), plastic boning, hooping wire, and cotton thread. -This does not work if any of your fabrics are stretchy! My boning is from here: https://www.onlinefabricstore.net/uncovered-plastic-boning-200-yards-.htm More historically accurate/more options are sold here: http://corsetmaking.com/ Pattern Drafting: I don't have a tutorial for this, I just made it up using a lot of guesswork and information I've picked up through experience. But my pattern is based off a pattern from Norah Waugh's Corsets and Crinolines. The book "The Tudor Tailor" has a kirtle pattern which is similar, and Creating Historical Clothes by Elizabeth Friendship goes through the process of flat drafting historical costumes. I talk a (bit) about those books here: http://doxiequeen1.tumblr.com/post/105720641201/ ...
