Regency Man's shirts by Antonia

Sept/Oct/Nov/Dec challenge - Man's shirt 1790-1830

Pattern used: Kannik's Korner KK-4102

I made 3 shirts by hand. The first one was made with cotton, 2nd and 3rd ones with linen. The pattern gave instructions in all the hand sewing techniques. It was slow in the beginning as I was not familiar with historical hand sewing. As I did more, I got faster and my skill improved.

I made a set of dorset button cuff link to go with the shirts. I used 1/2 inch plastic bone rings and perle cotton #12 to make the buttons.

I did pulled thread embriodery in making picot edging on the collars and wristbands of the 2 linen shirts.

Bosom ruffle was made with cotton organdy.
