Having been a member of the Wisla Polish dance troupe, i enjoyed a full personal imported wardrobe of many regions of Poland. My favorite shirt was a white linen embroidered piece; the under sleeve has a square gusset perfectly felled on all sides, inside and outside. The shirt was made in Poland possibly Kashzubia.
I one of the new people that is mentioned at the end. These sew alongs have been so helpful. I'm an experienced sewer and have even dabbled in costuming...enough to "get by" at an event. However with the super guidance here, I've actually managed to create seams that I'm happy about and feel like I'm learning so much along the way. I jumped in at the shift but intend to go back and do the previous items too and will follow the bed gown too. Thank you!
So glad I found this! I had another reason to take the sleeves off the shift I am working on right now, and now I have another. Two reasons, I will do it. Now I need to go back and watch the previous ones!
Begging for the sleeve cuff & ruffle; especially as I'm about to start on a 16th century high-necked shift (from B & T shirt/shift linen) with a collar band and cuffs, both with ruffles. Annnd I may need to add some blackwork. The 18th century shift should be a breeze by comparison.
Thank you for sharing 💖 this really is a lifesaver right now. I was wondering if y’all know of any ways to make shifts accessible for nursing or pregnancy? Btw, I would love to see content about repairing or modifying historical clothing as your body changes if that’s something you’d be into ☺️
Really Mari, the neckline can be made big enough that you could pull it down under the breast. You see 18thc art depicting this. If you want more "security" in the neckline you can add a drawstring.

If it helps, the warp threads run “warp speed ahead, Mr Sulu” when seated at the loom.
I have not even gotten started I have no linen
Why not make one from stash fabric?
I don't even have anything white
But I got a great blue for a bedgown
