Pattern Description: MISSES SHIRTS IN THREE LENGTHS: Semi-fitted shirt has three length variations and four armhole and sleeve variations, collar and collar band, front band and stitched hems with side slits; shirt D has sleeves that may be rolled up to form cuffs (wrong side of fabric will show); purchased belt and pants.


Pattern Sizing:

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?I made a few changes

Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I've made this several times before...it's a good basic pattern.

Fabric Used: Printed ponte knit

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I changed from buttons to a CF zipper, and added a mandarin collar

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes, it's a good basic pattern. Unfortunately, it's OOP.

Conclusion: A good basic shirt pattern, easy to customize. For more information and pictures, see my blog
