Having never made a child's Elizabethan costume I decided to begin by using the tape and tee shirt method of getting a pattern, first for the corset, then the bodice. It worked very well. There was very little alteration despite the fact that there is an extra side seam with 3" seam allowances for growth. Linsey's Aunt Pam and I picked out most of the remaining materials for the costume at a real old time fabric store in downtown Napa, CA and then set to work.
