Help with Irish Renaissance (16th century)

I'm wanting to make a (mostly) historically accurate Irish outfit from the 1500s. I've found lots of information (well, as much as we have) on the leine and the overdresses, but there seems to also be an underskirt between the leine and the overdress. In the illustrations, it looks somewhat narrow.

Could anyone point me in the right direction of how this garment was made? Rectangles? Trapezoids? About how many yards were used? And how did this garment fasten?

Also, if I'm just completely misunderstanding Irish fashion at the time, let me know!

Little dude struck at me twice... Because I almost stepped on him. Fair enough!

Little copperhead was in a walking path and thankfully I was watching where I was going. But even then, I barely saw him in time!
