Kendra gave me an old project of hers, when I bought a bunch of wool from her last year. It was originally her <a href=\"http:\/\/demodecouture.com\/projects\/nuremberg\/\">1560s nuremburg dress<\/a> from ages ago, the bodice &amp; skirt in pieces. I tried on the bodice &amp; found that if I took up the shoulders a few inches, it would fit pretty well. Worn over my Elizabethan stays, it had an inch or two gap at the center front (the bodice is entirely unboned).<\/p>\n<p>So I unpicked the shoulder seam, which was a bit fussy since the edges were piped. I took the seam in, re-stitched, &amp; hand-sewed the piping down, which turned out reasonably neat, if a smidge bumpy. At least it&#8217;s all in the back. Pity it&#8217;s not like house plumbing where the pipes can be joined with smooth fittings.<\/p>\n<p>Then I thought about how I&#8217;d wear this. With the velvet guarding in along the front of the bodice &amp; at the center-front of the skirt, it might look odd to have a front-laced gap. But opening the side seams &amp; adding a strip there for width just so the fronts meet edge-to-edge would be a huge PITA, plus I&#8217;d have to match the piping again, causing weird bumps inside the armscye. Ew.<\/p>\n<p>So I started looking around for images. And conveniently I had the nice, fat Lucas de Heere illustration book in PDF on my iPad that Kendra <a href=\"http:\/\/demodecouture.com\/2012\/01\/lucas-de-heere-16th-c-costume-illustrations\/\">posted about<\/a> recently. Wherein I found several images, mostly Flemish, with that typical front-laced bodice. Duh! That reminded me of Drea Leed&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.elizabethancostume.net\/lowerclass\/flemish-dress.html\">Flemish dress<\/a> article &amp; Jen Thompson&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.festiveattyre.com\/research\/working.html\">further research<\/a> into the topic. Lots of lovely images there&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"640\" data-carousel-extra='null' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 640px;
