Pattern work ad change of use

Today, (between bouts of unexpected pain flare up in my leg - what was that about!) I worked on the pattern. Very nearly like the bodice of Golden Grace, but not.

Cut from dark brown horse hair braid No, hair canvas. (I knew I would do that!)
Why? not for structure, but because it is the right colour and texture!

Change of use permitted. Is that something like artistic license?

and because it is not for a medieval monk, (if anyone actually wore this it would be very bad for the skin), this is being the lining which will cover the edges as well and peek through the gaps in the seams.

I think.
