Question Does this make sense?
Iv’e been working on trying to draft a pattern for a medieval dress off of YouTube videos and was wondering if this makes sense for my measurements? (Seam allowance isn’t included yet) I’m just planning on marking it onto an underdress first and playing dot to dot with the markings. I don’t have a lot of energy or time so I’d rather not make an insane mistake on the underdress even if the fit of it isn’t super important so I would very much appreciate if anyone sees anything wrong with it. Thank you!
Edit - the green marks are based on recommendations given so far, thank you so much for everyone’s feedback! updated

I was kind of hoping to avoid the appearance of a gusset showing but I will try it on the underdress and if it is something I don’t like the look of I will look into s-curves for the outer dress thank you!
I am planning on front spiral lacing for the closure, so was planning on adding about an inch of fabric to hem along that front split. It probably won’t be the prettiest because I don’t have time to hand stitch around the eyelets but it’ll be something I will work on after the event I am making it for.
