I'm not adding gores as I don't want the hem too wide, just building in some width as I cut it out. I am intending to wear it on a regular basis in modern life so while I will lace it up modern undergarments meant doesn't have to be as tight. Am using 3m of cotton poplin and looking forward to the finished article, no tippets though. As for the surcoat, again 3m was plenty for mine, I didn't add them but the cutaway sides mean that there would be plenty of fabric left over if you want to add gores in. I added partial side lacing to mine from just below the waist to the hip with a contrast band to match the lacing across the top between waist and lacing - which is purely decorative and sewn together so the ends stay tied.

I never constructed a whole dress myself so I am a bit lost :(<br /><br />Thank you!Peťa Evangeline Maťusováhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16091852437164852361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326429105666772831.post-52377484848848526552016-03-19T10:54:04.040-07:002016-03-19T10:54:04.040-07:00Thank you, and sorry for the long delay!
I'm ...Thank you, and sorry for the long delay!<br /><br />I'm not exactly sure how much fabric it needs. A good estimate though would be to double your shoulder to hem measurement. Then make sure your fabric is wide enough for your desired hem width. If you're cutting it with gores like I did these dresses, you can transfer the extra width from the shoulders to the hem. I hope this makes sense!

I was wondering if you knew how much fabric a surcoat needs.Belinhttp://thornspell15133.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326429105666772831.post-15326997879944987312015-04-24T18:24:33.528-07:002015-04-24T18:24:33.528-07:00It was about three yards of each fabric, linen lin...It was about three yards of each fabric, linen lining and wool. <br /><br />Your combination sounds lovely!Katherine Caron-Greighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03023378555632762445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326429105666772831.post-50448661165684403832015-04-23T16:32:28.841-07:002015-04-23T16:32:28.841-07:00Hey Katherine, I love this cotehardie. This might ...Hey Katherine, I love this cotehardie. This might be a weird request, but I was wondering if you could post a "shopping list" of what it would take to construct this pattern. You mention using three yards of fabric for each cotehardie, but I wasn't sure if you were including the lining for the blue dress. I'm planning to make a sleeveless shift from tissue linen, a sky blue long-sleeved bottom cotehardie, and a forest green half-sleeve top cotehardie. I'm close to your size, so the yardage should be about the same.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03281612677834329353noreply@blogger.com
