I've been looking at this pattern some more, and I still can't decide what
the instructions mean.
There are 4 body panels - two fronts, two backs. It has side seams and
seams up center front and center back.
There are 2 sets of gores. One longer - to well above the waist, or about 4
inches below the armscye, and one shorter, to about waist level. I'm
viewing them as from the hem up as the notches seem to work that way.
The instructions and the notches seem rather vague. I'm thinking that
probably the pairs of short gores go front/back and the long gores go to the
side seams - or vice versa - long gores front/back and short gores to the
side seams. There may be something that I'm missing, but I can't figure it
out.
If anyone has used this pattern, I'd love to talk to you!

Subject: [h-cost] Seeking help with La Fleur de Lyse pattern
Good evening,
I'm cutting my second project from the La Fleur de Lyse pattern, "Women of
Medieval Romanesque Period". My first project was the 1150 Lady's bliaut,
which turned out ok, if a little large.
My problem is that I'm trying to cut the chainse and cotte and am cutting
the large instead of the extra-large. The pattern pieces for the gores are
confusing me. Has anyone made these garments from this pattern? Were you
able to make sense out of the gores for the size large, for the chainse or
cotte?
I'd sure appreciate any thoughts that anyone might care to share.
Laurie T.
