Hi Kate
Renaissance tailor has a good guide here -
http://www.renaissancetailor.com/demos_goresgussets.htm . Unless the gore
is very long, I prefer to sew by hand as it ie easier to manipulate the
fabric. Good luck with your project.

I have at last started on a long-planned project to make myself a
17th-century jacket (for when I need extra warmth). I'm using a pattern
from "The cut of women's clothes" that has triangular gussets in the
skirts. Now, as a not-very-competent needlewoman, I'm finding it difficult
to get the points of the gussets to fit neatly. I'm only working with the
lining material as yet, and have only tacked the pieces together. Can
anyone offer any advice before I start sewing properly?
