Made in cottons,
the Garibaldi shirt and a plain skirt can make a great starter outfit and can be dressed up for events or left
plain for work attire.
The shirt buttons closed in the front and can be made with an
optional waist band.
Prices begin at $85 depending on fabrics and trims selected.
"Conspicuous among the Parisian novelties of the season, and all appearances
destined to produce a change amounting to revolution in ladies' costume, is the Garibaldi shirt, which can be had in printed
flannel, merino, muslin de laine, printed cambric, foulard or pique. In shape and pattern it is made in the same way as a
gentleman's shirt, with plaits in front, extending just below the waist, full sleeves, small collar, and cuffs to turn
down, corresponding with the collar, all being of one material: the ends are left so as to go underneath the dress skirt,
and are long enough to allow of the shirt hanging over in big fashion all round, producing an easy and graceful effect. It
is the prettiest and most elegant garment that a lady can put on for morning, breakfast or demi-toilette, and is already in
great demand in fashionable circles." --Godey's Lady's Book, January 1862, vol. 64
