The shape of the stomacher is basicly the bodice front, cut straight across the bustline. I didn't bone it at all, I put a layer of buckrum between the fashion fabric and the lining. And no, the Hunnisett pattern wasn't for a zone front dress, but it was really easy to alter... I made a mock-up of the bodice as it appears in the book, and just played around with folding the front up at different angles until I thought it looked right. I used the same bodice pattern to make the stomacher, and just changed the shape and length of the front point, and cut it across at the top.
