This is the TOILE.If it's a gored kirtle, That means no bodice. Does it mean no boning? Does the gold fabric need lining?
I'll be wearing a corset under it and a boned bodice over it. There is no need for boning now. What about when I wear it this kirtle with something else?
I could let that time take care of itself. It can always be boned later. I can always make another corset that fits better later. It would save time to make it MM style for now. Then I can get on to making the fashion fabric bodice.
I see why people go to the trouble of making a duct tape bodyform. This dressform is not really me. I get confused when I have to make mental notes about 1/2" here and there between the form and me. Plus my measurements are always different, due to ?? taking them incorrectly? being too fussy? not fussy enough??
So, for today. I think I'll put the camecia/corset on, try on the kirtle before alterations and then make any really big changes. The little changes will be forgotten. I could baste on the lacing strips to the back and try to lace myself into it. We shall see.
This kirtle will be a bit looser and drape more like a modern dress. The things I wear under and over it, will make it period.
REMEMBER TO CUT WRIST LENGTH SLEEVES.
