For years I've been making my husbands 18th century shirts with tiny handsewn details that I doubt anyone would notice. In this video, I discuss the history behind these shirts, as well as how to make them. I do highly recommend buying the pattern from At the Sign of the Golden Scissors so you have all the information at hand.

One of the best shirtsleeves situations was in ‘Sense and Sensibility’ (1995). Alan Rickman, Hugh Grant and Greg Wise were instantly hot 🔥

[@Sewstine]

OH MY GOD YES. :D

[@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar]

I was just thinking I bet even my Boomer ex-husband would look good in a nice pirate shirt.😂

[@tidalboxer]

Yeah… Willaby was hawt. That’s one of my favorite movies just for the story too. The gorgeous suits on the guys doesn’t hurt.

[@annikajh71]

Not to take away from the validity of the closing comments but I really appreciate Sewstine for gathering us all together to relish in the elite kink category that is men's 18th century linen shirts for 21 minutes!!

[@MikiGo88]

Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise in that movie has me in a chokehold for decades too. It's just something about that movie that has a huge portion of us still obsessed with those two. They have been living rent free in my head since elementary school. When you mention that the clothes where historically accurate and they used orginals as reference you can tell they put in alot of work. At the time I had to info on historical garments and how they looked in real life but for some reason the entire wardrobe for that movie looks absolutely stunning and now I know why. The more I educate myself either from your channel or other historian lovers I'm also starting to spot the differences but not as great as someone like you or others who handle recreations.

[@Sewstine]

YES! Honestly, there are SO many outfits I want to make from this movie!

[@dorkbaitart]

Fun fact from a coffee nerd - the process of roasting the beans actually removes caffeine; the longer they roast, the lower the caffeine content. Obviously your taste preferences come first, and there is a psychological element at play, but light roast coffee is actually more caffeinated than dark roast!

[@saraquill]

Dark roasts also mask the flavor of the beans. I’m guessing they are also the reason most coffees taste like charcoal to me.

[@uschilou]

Totally jumping in a year later. It wasn't until I worked at a Cafe that I finally understood why I hated the taste of decaf for that very reason! It's just burnt coffee, basically 😂

"I hope that he looks at it and is reminded that someone who loves him made it for him." This is so sweet! Whenever I get frustrated if the sewing/knitting gifts I make for people don't go according to plan, I need to remember this

[@debcarroll8192]

I am also a sucker for a good 18th-19th century shirt. ( I will fight you for Horatio Hornblower, by the way! ) I made one for my husband, and he likes it. He calls it his pirate shirt.

[@zuul81]

such a clean sewing and all done by hand ! 🤯

[@Bane_Amesta]

Men in pirate shirts are instantly 200% hotter, and that is a fact XD Thanks for the video and the info, I didn't know linen takes longer to dry 💀I'll probably try to make one for myself in cotton, at least to get some practice. I'm already dressing in a more genderless style anyways, so I'll go for the ruffles and comfort all the way ✨ And oh Louis, he wasn't precisely the smartest guy, so the scene of the burning house and "let the slaves be free" is not too much of a genius move lol And historically, I bet no one would feel really bad when it comes to slaves, so even if is a sad note what you said about Louis, is probably historically accurate 😕

[@thedayaftertomorrow5950]

This couldn’t have come at a better time. I’ve been working (though it’s more like looking at the pattern, making a test scrap and then deciding I can’t do it yet) on one of these shirts to live out my 1820s vampiric fantasy but ultimately falling at every hurdle. So thank you for this video and bless your little dog haha. ❤

[@natalieklein9945]

Not the little heart gusset finally pushing me over the edge after years of wanting to make one of these 😂

[@titaniastinkerings]

Oh my gods you're a genius. Next time I do a pirate shirt, I am absolutely sewing down my hems for the cuffs and stuff BEFORE sewing the sleeve together. That looks so much easier 😂

[@roxiepoe9586]

The shirt is poetry! I love it. The make-do doing you did to make content left me totally content with the doing that you did. Thank you for addressing the flaw that I, too, objected to in the Vampire movie. Thank you, also, for not throwing out the baby with the bath water! Flaws do not negate an entire work. Silence about these flaws is reprehensible. Lastly, I love the yellow flowered dress you wore in your disclaimer bit. :)

“I have a type” 😂 I’m screaming

[@stevezytveld6585]

Yeah, Cruise before he started jumping on couches. Fun fact - his family briefly lived on our Ottawa-east suburban street. His sister (the manager behind the couch jumping) was in classes with my big sister and had a bit of a rep for... drama... That shirt is absolutely lovely. The details... just dreamy. It's going to be amazing in the Hall of Mirrors. I haven't seen the movie since it came out. So watching it with older eyes would be... an _interesting_ experience, I'm sure. Thanks for pointing out the pitfalls of the book & movie. And thank you for highlighting the work of the costume team. I'm in the camp that, if handled directly and intelligently, vampires could be a really interesting lens to work out some conversations we need to have about the history of this continent (I type as a fan of Abraham Lincoln - Vampire Hunter). In any event. Good luck with the rest of the move. Congrats for getting out a video in the middle of all the upheaval. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi

Actually, when you say "we" use 5/8 inches, that is a very american thing. here in sweden were I live, we use 0,5 - 1 cm. I think that is the same in inches as you mentioned as "tiny" :) I'm always baffled by americans complaining about not having enough fabric...and then using gigantic seem allowances.

[@Sewstine]

Lol agreed that it’s a huge seam allowance!’

[@EmelieWaldken]

The fact that men's shirts aren't remotely like these anymore is a tragedy. The day men will understand how incredibly beautiful and sexy those are, maybe they'll bring them back for real.

[@tidalboxer]

Ugh. I just bought one on Etsy that I was hoping would be decent. Nope! Awful fabric and way too short. I need to find a good maker for a nice fabric well constructed one for my measurements. My friend also made me my first trousers, tail and waistcoat for Halloween. It’s more a costume quality, but it’ll give me a good idea of the look on me. I’ll have to get a more authentic suit made later.

[@My_mid-victorian_crisis]

Thank you for the disclaimer, and I'm sorry you had to add it. History is awful. Thouhg one of my favorite sayings about history is "if history doesn't make you uncomfortable, it's propaganda". Best of luck with your move.

[@SimpleDesertRose]

I honestly love these shirts and was considering making a longer one for me to wear to bed. I personally thought Interview with a Vampire was dumb, but that's could just be from not liking Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise very much. It gave me a close look into Anne Rice's mind and showed me just how twisted her imagination is. Thing about Louis being a slave owner isn't really addressed at all in the movie. Its more that he was. There is not detail on what kind of slave owner he was. I knew there is a lot of hype about slavery and plantations but that's fact of the matter is a lot of people at they time didn't seem it one way or the other. Good or bad. It was just there. There were a lot of good slave owners as well as bad. Just like bosses today. Some slaves were treated very well even educated and given their freedom while there were other who were downright ruthless. This is a snapshot in history at a time when people were selling their fellow man and there was no shame about it. Also a time when people were starting to question it. The fact that Louis' slave came up to him and expressing her worries for him suggests that he was not a ruthless cutthroat slave owner and perhaps ine of the better ones. There were a lot of things that were not addressed properly in the 90's. We were still coming off the high of the 80's where bigger was better. In the 90's it was party is over and time to grow up. A lot of good things came out of the 90's. But there were still many things that were left unaddressed too.

[@lorrainemunoa791]

I'm afraid there is no good way to own another human being as chattel property no matter how sweetly you treat them. Many people in the time condemned the practice and actively pointed out the evil being done by it, so neither can it be argued that it was a product of the era and people thought it was normal. About half the nation did not- citation: we had a war about it. A lot of "hype" about one of the great atrocities of world history really is just truth. I know you as a likely very nice person would perhaps like to soften these things, but I'm afraid the facts do not allow it. The book and movie are telling a story more than they intend to educate about the realities of history, which is a slippery slope to creating new narratives of fictional history- that'd take a college course or three to get into properly, I think.

[@SimpleDesertRose]

@@lorrainemunoa791 you're right there is not good way to own another person. However I am not trying to soften anything. Sadly it's a common theme all throughout history. Humans owning other humans as slaves. Many were treated horribly and others treated very well. I only wished to point that out. Sadly in the 90's many issues were thrown out there at us but were never fully addressed. The issue of slavery being one of them. Even the American Girls never fully addressed the issue. In Felicity Saves the Day, Felicity is on her grandfather's plantation and there are comments about the slaves being there. Put the story isn't about a young girl asking questions or trying to save a slave from an abusive master. No it's about a girl rescuing a horse from an abusive owner. I gave full credit to the author and to the Pleasant Company for bringing history to life for many girls of the era, but again the issue was there but never really addressed. Interview with a Vampire starts out during the height of they African Slave trade when it was a status symbol and display of wealth to own African slaves. Anyone could have white slaves, but black slaves was saying look at me I can afford to have blacked slaves. Don't say there weren't white slaves because there were. Some of the first slaves to American were white. At a time when England sought to be rid of its extra sons, they were rounded up and sold into slavery. I myself have an ancestor who was sold to a black tobacco farmer in Virgina. Many people did start speaking out about the practice at the time. People were beginning to question it and see it as morally wrong. However if the war you are speaking is the Civil War you are horribly mistaken if you think it was about slavery. The southern states didn't succeed from the union just because of slavery. They succeeded because Lincoln was an attorney and by law attorneys couldn't be President. When they cried foul and nothing was done about it, along with other issues that were not addressed, then they succeeded from the Union. Slavery was a minor issue at the time. But as a result of the Civil War, Lincoln made slavery illegal. Sadly today people are still treated like chattel. Just take a look at what the system defines us today. When the government took away all our gold and enacted the federal reserve and issued us debt notes in place of the gold backed currency, we became slaves to the system. Let me ask you this. If you were to stop paying your taxes what would happen? The IRS will come knocking and demanding what they believe is theirs. They will freeze your bank account and steal your hard earned money until the amount they feel you owe plus interest is paid. Read the Creature from Jekyll Island. Its eye opening

I have a ruffled shirt but this makes me want to make it out of linen instead of the charmeuse satin I currently have (worst fabric ever to do a ruffle shirt, I did hand sew the hem and sleeve cuffs because of the holes the pins left in the fabric, I didn't trust myself with the pins and couldn't find my clips 🤦‍♀️ don't laugh but it's a burnt orange charmeuse 🤣

[@ariadne0w1]

Me: "It looks great but I can't imagine putting all that work into a shirt, I don't get it" Also me: watching this while I work on a knit lace peacock shawl, a couple months in and about halfway through, that is so heavily beaded it will likely be more bead than yarn by weight, and on some rows a bead is placed every other stitch. ...ok, maybe I get it.

[@cb9825]

If I remember correctly, in the movie Louis screams that all the slaves must run away during the house fire. I was a kid (and from another country, we never had slaves from Africa) and somehow I assumed he freed them. Now I understand that fleeing undocumented would make the slaves' lives even harder. They would be captured, beaten and resold to new slave owners. Seems like Louis never did the right thing.

[@TheGrifhinx]

Exactly. Perhaps, in his damned mind, he thought this woulda been helpful for the slaves to just make their own way, away from the plantation. He lost his capacity to think ahead a long long time ago. Even before falling into vampirism, it seems he was already making one mistake after another.

[@Sewstine]

That's a realy good point CB - yes he freed them, but not in any way that would have made things easy or good for them. And rather than burn his house down, perhaps giving them all a lot of land would have been more sensible. But I'm afraid Louis was generally not sensible about anything.

[@gennevieve6969]

Thank you for a great video, it was really interesting. To your note about Louis not feeling morally wrong for being a slave owner - I don’t think it’s wrong in the plot, quite the opposite. Typically a person from that time period wouldn’t feel bad about it, during that time it was something normal. From what I noticed from Anne Rice’s books the characters and environment were always really accurate. She did her research well…I imagine if we could speak with a real person who lived then it would probably be similar… For the record- I myself think it’s very wrong, obviously.

[@Sewstine]

I wasn’t referring to the historical accuracy of it- I’m sure you’re right that it is historically accurate. It’s just the morality and the hypocrisy of questioning the nature of vampirism but not the nature of slave owning. And generally, the 90s were not a time of deep questioning of racial morality. And again- still love the costumes in the movie but as a POC watching the movie again, it struck a cord in me.

[@ERH-ph5gb]

@@Sewstine That is nonsense. Slavery has always been a subject of criticism, in the 90s no different than today. For as long as there have been films being produced, the issue has been dealt with cinematically, no matter the decade. The script described a character who had problems with killing people, not with exploiting people. If Louis had been portrayed as a character who liked to torture his slaves and kill them with his own hands, killing would not have been difficult for him, even as a vampire. Your postscript is basically superfluous, because of course no one in their right mind would find slave labour morally okay. It would also not occur to anyone to see your video about the actors' clothing and your production of such a shirt as morally questionable, unless someone is a moralising attention-seeker who thinks he has to position himself as a do-gooder in this way. Your own goodness is not measured by what you think you need to distance yourself from. It is enough to have this conviction internally without holding it up as a shield externally. Your handiwork is superb, the result very successful.

[@ingajohannsdottir1180]

The 1994 IWTV movie really couldn’t adress the moral injustice of slavery, as it would never have occurred to the characters that there was any injustice. (Please remember that Lois was even frowned upon for treating his slaves gently...) In the 18'th century the church approved of slavery, as well as a number of other unsavory things! Personally I find the pediphillic aspects of the child vampire much more disturbing..

[@lorettoponton7218]

Louis didn't feel bad about being a slave owner because at the time that was de normal and he probably convinced himself he was better than other owners because he made sure that they had everything they needed, that's why everyone was so concern about how he was acting when Lestat came to live with him, never the less, the girl that gave them the food to the table didn't fear to word out this concern, even when he said he was fine, she insisted, meaning he did treated them like human beings that were dependen on him, not ordering them not to talk unless spoken to first and all that,. He also permited them to have free of religion, making all that noise that had Lestat so angry. So of course he felt guilty about killing and not that because it was normaliced and he didn't tortured or mistreated their people. Of course is not a good thing and we can see that now, I'm sure he saw that eventually, as he DID freed the slaves when he burned the plantation to de ground. And even so, let's point out that even where they were freed they didn't go right away, he had to scare them away with fire.

[@cb9825]

He never wrote any legal papers about freeing the slaves. Undocumented slaves who "run away" would face very harsh treatment from authorities.🤔

Don't mind me being like the Sicko™ peering into the window looking at the frilly shirt 😏😉🤣 Also that section on jabots is enlightening 🙈, and on Louis' character in the 1994 movie (and book) too. So far I had only consumed IWTV through social media osmosis, especially with the airing of the TV show. I hadn't read the book myself but as far as I can tell many people (who are way more into this than I am 😅) dig the changes made in the series. Maybe the only downside to the new series is the shifting period so we have different clothes from the one in the movie (I mean there was an 18th C masquerade ball scene to compensate for it but still...) but win some lose some I guess (and I feel like we still win A Lot in the end 😆🙈) (Also first the Harlots' costume designer and now one of the IWTW movie's costumer? Dang Christine you got some contacts! 😏😎✨)

This cometeer thing sounds great! My husband hates coffee, and I drink it only a few times a year, but we live in the middle of nowhere and have extended-stay guests who like it. I just checked the shelf life, and it's 24 months! We can just chuck them in the freezer for when our mothers or sisters visit! It sucks that they don't have a one-time purchase option, though. Quitting a subscription after one month always feels somehow like cheating.

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who thinks 18 century shirts make men extremely sexy :D. I wonder if it's the drooping shoulder which makes the shoulders look wider or the skin-close appearance on the linen on the chest. I love it. Thank you for explaining 'the stitch', I had never heard of it. It's a great video and a beautiful shirt.

I'm working on the lazy/ lower class version of this shirt right now! Unbleached linen with small pleats instead of gathers and no ruffles. I'm also debating how to close it, since 16th c shirts are more flexible... but I can't wait to wear it history bounding, and I didn't know about The Stitch!

I'm in love with the sunflower dress you're wearing at the end of the video! Did you make it or order it from somewhere? Could you share any and all links regarding this completed item or pattern, fabric, etc? Thank you 😍

This video is delightful! I am only halfway through and I have laughed so much 'I have a tyyyype' is so so so relatable!
