Showing off the Renaissance/Steampunk shirt I have available in my Etsy.  It’s a pretty classic design that I think works very well for many types of costumes, everything from the medieval to the late steampunk Victorian, underneath a waistcoat, for example.  This version has hooks and eyes at the sleeves and at the neck, though I’ve made similar ones with button closures before.  The buttons actually work better for this type of shirt… It’s sewn in 100% Osnaburg cotton, and is slightly thicker than muslin, so you don’t get that threadbare see-through effect that you get with a lot of cheaper Renaissance/pirate shirts.  It’s an off-white cream color that looks great.  

The style of shirt is intended to be fuller and with more volume, hence the big sleeves, though it’s entirely possible to make a tighter fit as well.

Finished. The wallpaper took a really long time, not that the rest didn’t. Inspired by Edward Gorey’s illustrations.
