With my very basic garb I'm having issues with having to adjust my skirt and bodice alot.  Is there any tips out there to help reduce this? I am working on a design for my new garb, probably a dress of some sort with a bodice over.  I'm not sure, looking for advice.  I'm not ready for hard core noble yet, but like a lesser noble or something along those lines.  I do have my lil knight with me most times, so movement is nessacery!

A picture of you in your garb would probably help get suggestions...
Royal Protector of Raccoons, Mistress of the Poi, Best Friend of Windland/Nim, Guppy, Seamstress for The Feisty Lady.

Agree with Tammy: adjust *how?* 

But on the whole, I find dresses far more comfortable than separate bodices and skirts, mainly because it cuts down on the number of layers at your waist.

If you're interested in merchant class/lower noble, then a kirtle (with doublet/jacket/coat) is a *perfect* next garb piece!  Here are some links to inspire:
