Before I go hunting for a tutorial/pattern to diy an 18th century men's shirt...tailored to my oldest dd's measurements?

If so, I wondered if there are any sites or resources you could recommend as a starting point?

(She's Hamilton obsessed & I've been making myself a blouse which seems to have inspired her to ask about me making one for her :) )

Take a look at prior attire on YouTube. You'll find links to books there.

The Prior Attire website and Youtube channel/Instagram/Facebook is all about recreating a wide variety of Historical costumes.
Perhaps you could find some inspiration there ?

Thank you both; I'm just unpicking a seam I'm not 100% happy with then I'll take a look!
