I have no useful advice whatsoever regarding your question, but it looks like you've already received adequate input. I just wanted to say that I'm glad to finally learn what a farthingale is! Have read and glossed over the term in numerous historical romances for years.
BTW, I love, love, love this pattern. If my Gold's Gym regimen works out okay, I might have to get it to go with a pattern I have for a gorgeous 16th century costume I bought 8 years ago, right after visiting the Renaissance Faire with youngest bro, to make for the next time I go to the Faire. I gained 50 pounds in the year or so after I bought it, so I never made it, but there's still time! I had so much fun the one time I went, and it's so close to home, but I've never made it back since. I bought all the fabric at the same time I bought the pattern, and it sits in a plastic tub reproaching me every time I go through my sewing stuff. Maybe in a year or so...
