OMG! that's a ton of layers. I can see that being reasonable in England, but in Sacramento in June? eek. I'd pass out. Pinned on stomacher? fascinating. although English isn't something I've spent oodles of time looking at.
The Pfaltzgraph Dorethea corset (I have probably slaughtered that spelling, too).. I know the one you are talking about. Eireannach made one like that, but we didn't notice that any significant difference with the "demi" boning and full boning. But perhaps it's related to the weave or fiber content of the corset and "stretching"/"molding" over time. If you had to wear it everyday, ...
"pair of bodies".. I'll have to show you what I've been playing with for 15th century Italian, because I'm making "fitted" bodices (I think of them as bodies) that are not boned, but very supportive and then attaching an unlined skirt. This is supposed to go under the robe/overgown.
