This cloth shirt was standard apparel in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Made of calico, muslin, linen or wool, the style endured long after fashion dictated change. Roomy and comfortable for work or play, the practicality of the design is apparent.

This pattern is the Early Period Drop Sleeve Shirt style without a yoke. There is a short stand-up collar variation included with this pattern along with your choice of tucks or gathers for fullness. It may be decorated with ribbons to make an unusually striking shirt for pow-wows and dances.

Included in the pattern is a complete clossary of terms so that anyone from the novice to the experienced seamstress will be comfortable using it. Intermediate sizes are easily made!
