After at least 15 years, the shirt is finished. I think I was working on it when Aged Dad started going back and forth to the hospital in 2019 and had to set it aside. Anyway, yay, I guess.

Elizabethan shirt, using the Folkwear poet's shirt pattern as a base. White cotton fabric, cross-stitch fabric collar and cuffs, crocheted lace trim (#12 perle cotton), Holbein stitch embroidery (cotton embroidery floss), vintage Battersea buttons, lucetted cord collar ties (size 20 crochet cotton).

The shirt:

Collar with box-pleated ruff with crocheted lace trim and neck slash with needlelace godet insert (from the Folkwear Missouri steamboat shirt, and because the slash is always too deep on me)
