Yes, lovely options, and I have Margo's Gentleman's package. Some how, old habits I guess, when I'm trying to figure something out in a hurry and looking to down-and-dirty options, I forget about some of those better resources. And really, for these style garments, starting from scratch with Tudor Tailor, or pulling out the Margo's won't take any longer than trying to wing it with something from the Big 4.
Sheesh...I can be such a nit some days. Off to dig out my TT and Margo's and cut a kid a shirt.

This would be something close to what I have come to know as "the poet's shirt". Margo Anderson's Elizabethan gentleman's garments http://www.margospatterns.com/Products/ElizGntlmnWrdb.html Scroll down to "Two styles of shirts" and "click" to get an idea of shirt. Reconstructiong History http://tinyurl.com/33sxw43 So what would be a good shirt pattern, commercial or drafted by me, for a shirt that will appeal to a teenager in the way that the commercial patterns mentioned above would, but would still be a little bit closer to pre-1600? _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
