Aren't gores the ones that start at the waist and godets the ones that start somewhere around the thigh? Anyone know the difference, if any?
Well, SCA-types tend to call them gores and modern dressmakers tend to call them godets and use "gore" to refer to a trapezoidal panel.

I'm guessing we don't really know what they called the suckers in the Middle Ages :-)
