Lets forget about my confused tunic

Just for a little while we're forgetting about the tunic that was a simple men's, then wanted to be Irish, and now will be neither.
I've been working on something much more exciting. I'm trying an Elizabethan corset.
Why? Well because I really like the support of a bra, but I'm tired of wearing modern undergarments with my somewhat historical clothing. I realize this isn't the right undergarment for any of the clothing items I currently have, but maybe it will be eventually.
I have to say I have a huge crush on Drea Leed and her Elizabethan Costuming website (http://www.elizabethancostume.net/). Her website has a great generator for a corset pattern by your measurements, you put in your measurements here and get illustrated instructions that walk you through drafting out your own customized pattern.
So I am working on a modified mockup of the boned tabbed version. It will be faced and lined with fabric from a striped cotton bedsheet, though I do intend to wear this for awhile before I move on to a better constructed one it is still just a mockup.
This mockup will also serve another purpose. By making up the corset and noting any modifications I need to make, I will also be able to draft out a bodice pattern from the same lines that the corset pattern gives me.
I think I'm going to make the Gored Kirtle, but I might go with the Gathered Kirtle
