Progress report: 18th century men's shirt

Okay, here's what I've got so far. Floofy sleeves, like I wanted! : D

I kind of wonder if it's too loose? But then I look at this painting of Voltaire getting dressed, and decide that no, it's not.


It's not done: I still need to sew on the insides of the cuffs and collars, make buttonholes, make something to strengthen the end of the slit at the neck, etc. Should I have ruffles along the front or not? Cannot decide. Also, it goes almost to my knees and has long tails, as it should have.

...I have no sewing tag, I guess I'll just label this by fandom.

Were men-in-high-heels a thing during this historic period?
