The partlet being the same as the sleeves was more of an Elizabethan practice than a Tudor one. However, It was a lot easier for me to do that than try to make mix-and-match sleeves. Sorry! Also, a word about mixing and matching: the bodice most often would match the overskirt, though it has been seen in some portraits of the time that the bodice could match the underskirt. However, I have never seen a picture where the bodice didn't match any of the visible skirts.

Sorry, guys, this only works in IE. The drag images script is graciously provided by Dynamic Drive.

Instructions: drag the skirts and bodices onto any chemise/corset/partlet combination that you'd like, creating a pretty noble gown. If you're wondering where the farthingale is in all this, it's included underneath the gown already - that's why is sticks out. Remember, though: the farthingale is an undergarment.
