Making an 18th Century Shift

I'll be starting my More Historically Accurate Demelza outfit by sewing a shift! All good historical costumers know that having the right undergarments is essential to having things fit well and be comfortable. The shift was the universal undergarment of 18th Century dress, and was worn under the stays, petticoats, and gown. They're fairly easy to draft and sew, and a great project to start learning your way around historical costuming! This shift is made from white linen, using a combination of modern and historical methods.
