+Horizontal Opening
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+These instructions are for a shirt with an horizontal opening at the
+yoke, closed with snaps, rather than a slit; they have no basis on any
+historical source, but are useful to make a shirt for modern wear with
+fancy fabric manipulation on the front.
+
+Skip most of the instructions on preparing the front, sewing just the
+two halves of the yoke pieces.
