Whether you call them poet shirts, pirate shirts, or as the name seems to be suggesting, musketeer shirts, a shirt with big sleeves and lots of lace and ruffles is something that no historical costume nerd should be without. This free pattern seeks to fill that hole in your wardrobe with this example which has optional ruffles, laces or buttons.
A shirt like this would be usable for various centuries from the 1400s to the end of the 1800s and could also be extended to make it into a chemise or a nightgown.
