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.

Clearly Keith should have stripped down to skin so he could rip his shirt into bandages. :-D

Ewen: That's really not necessary...
Keith: [clothes flying across the room] No, you're bleeding, I gotta!

Yikes! Yes, that is not at all sexy, nor would one want it to be. I'm glad he was okay.

Happily every mountain rescue I've participated in (as if there were so many!), everybody was capable of walking out at the end.

Huddling for warmth. Is being cold ever sexy? I have my doubts.
