June 15, 2008 - They’re strapless and “half-boned” (less rigidly boned), which gives the wearer much greater freedom of movement over the strapped and fully-boned stays of the upper class or for more fashionable wear. In the 18th Century, the ideal shape was concerned less with waist size (the focus for corsetry in the Victorian era) and more on posture — giving the wearer a lovely topline and shoulders.

Shift styles changed over the course of the 18th century, with very full elbow-length sleeves until the middle of the century. For example, look at the shift sleeves in a detail from The Stolen Kiss by Fragonard. The sleeves are full, elbow-length, and have a narrow cuff.

We all wear shifts. If you are female and reenact the 18th c., chances are you've made at least one shift. Like every other reenactress, I began with a cotton shift that had a drawstring neck with "self-ruffle", and too-long sleeves ditto. That was in 1974. As we in the hobby began to take ...

The Sewing Goatherd: The It-Took-Forever 18th Century Shift
Before the 19th century, nearly all undergarments were made from linen. With this in mind, I ordered a few yards of linen online, and when it arrived I chopped it up into my shift pieces - my 18th century project was finally beginning!

It was usually made of linen and was the item of underwear worn next to the skin, underneath the body-shaping stays. The short, ungathered sleeve and wide, shallow, ungathered neckline correspond to women’s fashions of the first two decades of the 19th century. It is a development of the 18th century shift which was similar in style and materials.

Linen/Cotton Shift
A shift is the most basic undergarment needed for an 18th century woman. This shift is made of a linen and cotton blend so it is breathable as well as affordable. The neckline has a wide band so that a drawstring may be added at the wearer's discretion. The 3/4 sleeves also close with a drawstring. The fabric of this shift is very soft against your skin.

Handsewn 18th Century Linen Shift
April 23, 2021 - Instead of cutting the side gores as separate pieces, as the pattern suggests, I cut them from the body of the shift. I cut the neckline per the pattern, and was very pleased to discover that I was able to cut "the gussets from the bosom," as the 1789 manual Instructions for Cutting Out Apparel for the Poor instructs. Fabric economy played a significant role in the cutting and sewing of garments in the 18th century and beyond.
