I am thinking of branching out into early US Civil War, and I was told that 
'the easist thing to make is the Garibaldi shirt'.

However there were no examples around for anyone to show me. And no reference 
book/website for them to point me to. 

Can you please share a pic / web site / pattern with me so I can start creating 
a prototype Civil War outfit.

I am aiming for a country widowed woman, spinner, middle class, if that helps.
