Ok, I looked at the designer's name (it's Andrea Schewe) and asked.
the response on it is that it's essentially designed for the mass
market, not an exact repro . The basic shapes are more closely patterned
after a late 18C, early 19C than the McCall's similar pattern. The
shoulders are sloped instead of putting in the little square gusset
near the neck. There are 2 sleeves. One that has the underarm gusset
and a larger more dramatic sleeve with the gusset worked in and elastic
at the wrist. the kind of stock thing, was put in to add costuming
interest. and it's aimed at the genreal market for anyone to make rather
than the re-enactor market (that's Martha McCain's area).
Hope this helps.
