A Garibaldi shirt was a woman's fashion named after the Italian patriot Giuseppe Garibaldi who was an Italian folk hero and a nationalist in favor of Italian independence from Austrian domination. It was extremely popular during the first half of the 1860s and it was made in bright red fabrics. Versions in white and lighter fabrics also appeared, and children frequently wore it.
