classic tailored shirt

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
The Classic Tailored Shirt »

Instructions

I used kwik sew pattern 3555 which was way too big for me, even though I was supposed to be a size M as per their chart.
I had to make two 5/8" darts at the back.
I also shorted the short sleeves additional 1.5" from the pattern short sleeve option.
I made the pocket smaller to 3.5" x 4"
I also shorted the hem about 1.5"

Wow!! You've done a fabulous job, Alice!! I love the way you've matched the pocket on the front and the sleeves to the yoke, No one would ever know that you made it. It looks very professional! Thanks for posting the pictures :-)) Pam

Great fabric choice. Wow you really had to work hard on alterations. Now after all that work you have a great fitted pattern.
