Mid-Nineteenth Century Shirts
The square cut, drop-shouldered style with underarm gussets is the most common style of the first half of the 19th century.
The suggested fabrics are: Cotton sheeting for the body and a fine linen for the collars, cuffs and plaited fronts. You may also make the entire shirt of a cotton calico and the detachable collar out of a cotton or linen.
The two shirt styles are contained in one pattern package and are multi-sized 34 through 50 chest.
Chest sizes 34-40 require 3 Yds. of 45 inch wide fabric; chest sizes 42-50 require 3-7/8 Yds. of 45 inch wide fabric.
