Skill Level

Suitable for Intermediate sewers. This piece is constructed almost identically to the Over Shirt which is why the Art of Shirt Making workshop is a great option.

Construction techniques: Classic collar & collar stand, placket & cuffs, double shoulder yoke, run & fell seam, inserting sleeve head with ease, patch pockets & standard hem.

Sizing and Fit

Mens sizes XS2 - XL3 / Women's sizes 4 - 20 (with PDF Layers)

This is a classic style shirt with a neat but fairly broad shoulder and a very straight torso. Instead of narrowing towards the hips like typically male shaped cuts, there is slightly more room to accommodate the wider hip of more female body shapes. This pattern comes with 3 different sleeve length options.
