Two Mid-19th Century Men's Early
Victorian Shirts by Past Patterns
The instructions note these Victorian Shirts as being appropriate for the 1840's - 1860's.
Both views have plaited fronts, although view A is made from the older square cut method
with dropped shoulders, and view B is more fitted. Saundra Altman from Past
Patterns has an excellent reputation for historical authenticity in her pattern designs.
These Shirts are drafted from originals in museum collections. A Shirt in this time period
would have been made from linen or cotton, most often in white. The detailed and well
illustrated instructions also include historical notes. This is a tissue paper
pattern, multi-sized with chest sizes 34 to 50 in one package.
