Everything under "Pattern Development" is useful, though. You will likely need help and/or a dress dummy that's very close to your shape. The main difference between her doublet pattern and the 1580s Italian style is that there will be a bust curve to the front piece on the Italian doublet, lifting a little instead of completely flattening into the shield shape. Otherwise the pattern shapes stay pretty much the same.
