Pattern Description: boy's button-down shirt with collar stand, sleeve plackets - lots of menswear details and tailoring

Pattern Sizing: 134-170cm (design #18, same issue is basically the same shirt in sizes 92-128cm) - I made a size 152.

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

Were the instructions easy to follow? yes - bonus directions for sleeve placket and collar would help newer sewers

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? fantastic detailing

Fabric Used: poly-cotton broadcloth/plaid - the inside collar stand, front facings and cuff facings are the contrast royal blue solid

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: none

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? yes & yes

Conclusion: This is a fantastic classic pattern for boys. I definitely see this getting used again!

Great looking shirt. Love the details that are hard to find for boys.

Your detailing is very impressive. It is hard to find good boys/mens wear. I think you've filled this gap!
