It's done!

drawing of a shirt that opens from the neck to the waistline with a button placket and pleats, while the lower part is closed and gathered.

I've finished making my gentleman's shirt (or Garibaldi Shirt, if we want to call it with a womanswear name) and published the full instructions online.

I'm really happy with it because I've had quite a hard time finding detailed instructions for this time period: for the earlier pirate-style shirt there are plenty of articles (and a certain video), but this doesn't seem to be as common.

(cue lots of people providing me with links to patterns and articles about this style of shirt :D )

And when I end the instructions by saying “start making the rest of the half dozen” I really mean it :D

I'm not going to actually make myself half a dozen shirts, because I don't dress like a victorian gentleman every day :D , but I already have a cut of thin, red wool fabric waiting for me to turn it into a shirt :D
