How to Make a 17th Century Shirt | Baroque Menswear Tutorial

Let's make the basic shirt for a fashionable masculine gentleman of the 1660's! Never before seen on YouTube, this tutorial will walk you step by step through how to make one of these basic garments--from drafting the shirt from YOUR measurements, to the sewing and assembly. And, of course, because it's the 1660's and we're over the top even in our most basic of underthings--decorating it with frills and ribbons and lace! Hey, you wanted to be fashionable, right? These garments were typically made out of pristine white linen and were made to be seen. They feature a high collar, cuffs, and detachable lace ruffs at the elbows and wrists. While you can make this garment as basic or as frilly as you want, this definitely was an era of power dressing where you really wanted to lay it on thick. This is one of the most fun eras of clothing for masculine wear, and I'm SO excited to be dipping my toes into it! This is the beginning of my 17th century Baroque Peacock costume. We'll be building it from the skin out.
