I used instructions from the 1838 sewing manual The Workwoman's Guide to make a historical chemise. #gussets 0:22 Background 1:20 Planning 2:10 Cutting out 3:21 Mantua-maker's seam 4:56 Nitty-Gritty 6:25 Assembly 9:30 Ta-da! The book is available for free online, so you can make yourself some gigot sleeves, a quaker bonnet, or "a waistcoat for an invalid boy of the working class," if that's what you need. https://archive.org/stream/workwomansguide00hale#page/59/mode/1up/search/working+class The music I used was Gaúcho by Chiquinha Gonzaga (performed by Markus Staab, with changes made) and Swipesy Cakewalk by Scott Joplin (performed by "E's Jammy Jams" lol).
