The codpiece
The shape and size of the codpiece
is a matter of personal opinion. I have noticed that the codpieces
were rather large in the beginning of the 16th century and got smaller
towards the end. In fact, I have seen examples that do not have one at
all. I have included a basic pattern for rather modest one. Please keep
in mind that it may need to be adjusted to preference
1) Cut out pattern (see example 16) Stitch along dotted line of the
fabric pieces. Be sure to snip the seams so that the fabric lays correctly.
