A long since planned Shirt Project have now been completed.
A synthetis between a Victorian style shirt (ca 1840-70) and a modern Tuxedo shirt.
The links below have been my main source of inspiration:

The "modern" parts of my design are mainly the cuffs & the collar -
Cuffs - French cuffs, rounded corners.
Collar - Extra Wide Spread, 2-1/2" Points, 1-1/2" Back, No Tie Space.
Each pleat (six, three on each side) each measures 1 1/4" and the placket has the same width - giving the bib a total width
of 8 3/4" - (including the placket) [7 x 1 1/4" = 8 3/4".]
All buttons except the collar button is hidden (by the placket)
The bib is 10 1/2 " long (meassured from bottom of the collar band to the end of the bib) making this a shirt whose
front opening doesn't extend all the way to the bottom end of the front - and has to be put on over the head.
