Grande Assiette Cote Fittings

[sbuchler]

So I had more fittings for Calum's grande assiette cote today.

Here are pictures from the pattern I draped in my first attempt (the one I wasn't that happy with) -- I got it to fit reasonably well... but I still was not pleased... it did not have the characteristic shape to the front gore:

It definitely looks like you're on the right track. Impressive fitting so far.

Calumn is standing there like "I have no pants! Bwa ha ha!"

:)

Lookin' good!

Thanks! :-D

And here I thought you would be so smitten with my eyes that you wouldn't notice anything else about the pictures. Yes, even the ones from behind. :-)

I certainly found this doublet more difficult then the female equivalent - I find the arm construction seriously counterintuitive - I see that it works and gives a marvelous range of motion... but it hurts my head to think about ;-).

Nice work! The armhole is much larger than I had expected. But this is interesting to see.

Thanks! Some of that is an optical illusion - the sleeve is laid on top of the armhole and there is a great deal of overlap... but if you're looking at the right side armhole... yeah, it is big :-)
