Kirtle TOILE

I decided to make the kirtle. I'll be using the gold taffeta Sarah D. found for $6. I found a pattern I liked. It will solve the problem of the waist seam.*

Followed these instructions:
1. Trace my corset out on paper.
2. Alter it on paper to create a bodice pattern.
3. Alter that paper to create a kirtle pattern.
4. Use that paper pattern to create a Toile. I used a heavy but loose weave of something my Nana made to cover a card table. There are piles of different fabrics here.
I sewed it together. The skirt part is in bits, since I didn't have enough fabric. I don't care about that. All I want is a bodice that fits.


*I want to be able to use this kirtle for other dresses, with various size bodice points and lacing locations. This seamless gored kirtle won't show a seam even in a deep Venetian front point. On a side note, this is the MM gored dress pattern. How cool is that?
