This modern day dress with 8-gore with princess seams is easily adapted to a cotehardie. I add about 12-15 inches to the length of the pattern, and widen from the hips to the width of the doubled-over material (so I am cutting 2 pieces at the same time). This works on both 44″ and 60″ material. Of course you will get a fuller skirt with the 60″ material.
