Regency Shirt Tutorial

In this video I explore my first Regency era content with a simple (not really) shirt! For those of you who have made 16th century, Elizabethan style shirts, this style is similar but different in some key ways. There are gussets in the neck which aren't present in most 17th century shirts. There is a large amount of top stitching which isn't often seen in the Early Modern Era. Meant to be worn as an undergarment with a waistcoat and cravat on top, this style of "pirate shirt" (total misnomer) is common throughout the 18th and early 19th century. The collar and cuff details change slowly over time, but in the end, it is miles of linen fabric, lots of linen stitching and even some small thread buttons made of, you guessed it, LINEN! I hope you'll enjoy this foray into new territory for me. I plan to start looking at menswear of all kinds in many eras. There is simply not enough content about making menswear and doing it well.
