Hi, That would be an 18th century shirt. Bjarne ****************** I think Bjarne could be right, but I also see a 19th century shirt...the 1st half of it anyway. The shirt becomes what we generally think of as a shirt today [yolk, shaped sleeve heads] in the 2nd half of the 19th century. Before that, a shirt is cut in all rectangular and square pieces. The shape of collars really give away the period in the 19th century too. That very high collar with the ends of it near your ears can be found early on in the period till the 1830s and 40s. [You don't seem to get the starched detachable collars till the last half.] Can't say I like any of these styles the pattern offers much. I really hate the laced up the placket "pirate" look. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
