[Ansteorra] Sewing question while we are on the topic of authenticity

[Susan]

I have been working on making some of the geometric tunics as opposed to 
my old friend the 'one curved side-seam' T-tunics.  I'm doing ok with 
the gussets, although I always have to resew at leaste once for getting 
it attached to the wrong part of the seam or something.  I did the 
trapazoids on the side for skirt fullness, the ones where they were 
attached to two side pieces that were attached to the side-if that makes 
sense.

I went looking for the pattern, but can't find it, but this tunic from 
Kass McGann has the part I have the question about, 
http://www.reconstructinghistory.com/beginners/FirstGarb.html

When you are putting the gore into the slit up the middle of the 
back-how do you do this so it lays right and looks nice on the outside?  
I looked at so many this weekend at Mooneschadowe and am really curious 
on how to get it to really look good.  The next thing I'm planning on 
making is out of a linen I really love and I would so like it to look 
nice. I can run up a trial out of another fabric, to check procedure.

This is two parted, as one is how to securly sew the v so that it is 
secure and lays correctly.  The second part has more to do with where 
you make this v fall.  I noticed that where these fall in the back makes 
a large difference in how they look and flow.  I have a fairly swayed 
back and not small (anything in all actuality), so I would like to have 
this be as flattering as possible.

Thanks for the input,
Susan
