Draft your own Doublet Skirting

If you have lost your doublet skirting pattern, the pattern doesn’t look right, or it was eaten by the cat here is a pain free way to make a new one.

Trace Doublet Waistline — One scrap paper or calico trace the doublet waist line at the stitching line. Which means if you have a 5/8 inch seam allowance go up 5/8 of an inch from the bottom of the pattern to find your stitch line.

Doublet Waist Line — So you are left with this.

Flip Over and Turn Upside Down — Flip the paper over and upside down. Draw a line from the side seam and front doublet point flaring out slightly for 2 inches. (Or more depending on how wide you want the skirting.) Connect these two points with a curve. Add seam allowances. Done!
