A Modern Girl in a Regency World. We took our daughter to a Napoleonic battle reenactment when when she was 4 months old.
A good friend who was far braver than I brought her 2 month old! I am hoping to get her opinions about packing for an event as well at some point. I am a minimalist at heart, an attribute which my daughter challenges almost daily.

The shirts often doubled as nightwear and were usually made from linen or cotton. The only visible part of the shirt during the day was the upper edges of the collar peeking out from underneath the cravat, and maybe the frills on the cuff, which extended below the jacket sleeves in the 18th century. By Regency times, little had changed. The Pattern The pattern of a man’s shirt was relatively simple. As the garment is so loose fitting, I found it unnecessary to take oodles of body measurements, but I would suggest taking a few. Body Measurements to take My pattern pieces The layout of the pattern pieces (not to scale). Construction Steps.
