As an update, we used the MM kirtle pattern, but trimmed the sides of
the gore that were designed to flare out over a hoop. Amy is a size 6
adult, and the petit size is very tight on her. Looks good. Today
we'll cut out the tabard from the PP #41.

Yes, we're trying to make do with the patterns we've already got and
the underdress was not included in this pattern.

Possibly because the PP patterns don't really have one for a kirtle; in some
of them at least, the underdress is faked.

My daughter is making a tabard from this pattern. Do you think that
the 1500-1630 round kirtle at http://www.mantua-maker.com/id10.html
would work underneath? I have this pattern.

This has always been a pet peeve of mine (nothing personal, Bambi). If I
wanted to cut a sloper and fit it, I wouldn't have bought a pattern. Why
put size markings on a pattern at all, if we're supposed to cut
I'm afraid not. It's been far too long. Sorry I can't be any more helpful.

The best way to check for sizing is to actually measure the pattern
