I haven't gotten the pieces together yet to be able to put them on him, so I don't know precisely, but my impression is that the shirt ought to be relatively close to the form.
This particular shirt is c. 1600, but I don't have a terminus ante quem and I'm not that good with generalities on such late-period garb because I really hadn't much need to make any. I'm going from schematics of the original and from knowing how Jane Stockton did her version (I've referenced her dress diary in earlier Warwick shirt entries) so I don't think there's a particular site that I could recommend. I'm just kind of winging it and hybridizing what I can from the Pemberton miniature.
(Sorry--LJ didn't notify me of this comment, for some reason.)
"Terminus ante quem" is actually an historian's term for the date before which a piece must have been created. It means "end before which", essentially.
