Ye Tailor's Little Booke of Geometries

I've always thought I would eventually write a little pamphlet of geometries directly applicable to Elizabethan costume construction. I was even going to dedicate it to my mother. The goal was to (eventually) publish this and make money.

I've realized that this will never happen.

If it were happen, this is the information it would contain. And I'd charge you a couple bucks for it. You can feel free to send me the money if you want. ;)

Chapters

How long do my skirts need to be? -- All the math to figure skirt lengths over farthingales.

Appendices

Handy Dandy Worksheet for all that Skirt Length Math -- It's kinda like a MadLib, but useful.

Little Chart for Farthingales -- Just a chart of bottom hem lengths and the diameter of the resulting farthingale.

Skirts: Hem Circumference and Diameter, for Common Fabric Widths -- Just a chart, showing the hem circumference and diameter resulting from 2-4 panels of a common fabric widths. Helpful if you don't know how many panels of fabric you'll need to get a skirt that goes over your farthingale, or possibly if you have a skirt and are trying to make a farthingale that will fit under it.
