In order to gain a better understanding of what it is that i'll be making for costume store, i carried out a bit of research into men's 18th century shirts and came across a really useful book by R.L.Shep called 'Shirts and Men's Haberdashery 1840 to 1920' (see bibliography)which gave me an idea into shape and cut of men's shirts in this period.
I scanned in a few pages which i found particularly interesting and useful to me, and the 'pie-crust' shirt that i'm making.

| This isn't a very good picture but the shape and size of the sleeve and the stub collar are both like that of the shirt that i am making. |
