		<description><![CDATA[The bust measurement is probably the most important measurement when it comes to making any torso garment fit a woman.  Whether you&#8217;re making a sixteenth century corset, a modern jacket, or a 1960s trapeze dress, if it doesn&#8217;t fit correctly at the bust, it doesn&#8217;t fit.  How do you get the right measurement?I&#8217;ve seen several [...]]]></description>

I don&#8217;t know why that was a surprise, since I moved everything last August.  I&#8217;ve added little redirect-y pagey-poos for the worst offenders.

		<description><![CDATA[The surviving pattern published in Juan de Alcega&#8217;s &#8216;Libro de Geometria, Practica y Traca&#8217;(1589) represents almost everything we know about the farthingale.
