Pattern Description: Misses Shirt

Pattern Sizing: I cut the 10 and made adjustments

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing it? Yes

Were the instructions easy to follow? The instructions for this shirt are clear (as most Burda instructions are) and very easy to follow. I however make my shirts differently so I followed my own construction methods.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love the classic style of the pattern with the cuffs and plackets.

Fabric/Interfacing Used: Striped Shirting

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I did not make any design changes but I did take the measurements from my ready wear shirt and used those numbers to adjust my pattern before cutting. I ended up taking out 2" of ease in the body and 1.5" of ease in the sleeve. I talk about how to do that in THIS post

Would you sew it again? Yes because since I made the fitting changes to the pattern and not the garment I now have a pattern that is fitted for me and can be replicated over and over without any further fitting issues.

Would you recommend it to others? Yes along with my modifications
