Minerva Digital Pattern 2831 – Sleeveless Shirt with Hem Band

Introducing a digital pattern for the sleeveless shirt with hem band – Crisp Tailoring Meets Relaxed Summer Ease.

WHEN TO WEAR DESIGN 2831

This versatile top combines a classic shirt collar with a softly blouson silhouette, making it perfect for:

• Warm Office Days: Stay polished without sleeves while maintaining a professional collar.
• Weekend Outings: Pair with high-waisted shorts or trousers for a chic casual look.
• Layered Styling: Wear under a blazer or cardigan to add crisp detail without bulk.

KEY DESIGN FEATURES

Silhouette: Straight-cut body gently bloused into a wide hem band for a relaxed yet defined shape.

Collar & Placket: Traditional shirt collar with stand and full front button placket for clean tailoring.

Armholes: Finished sleeveless openings with smooth facings for comfort and a neat edge.

Hem band: Wide lower band gathers the body slightly for soft volume and an elegant finish.

Back: Simple back with light gathering into the hem band.

LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY

Intermediate. Requires precision in collar and stand construction, button placket alignment, and clean finishing of armholes.

No seam allowances by default. If the option to add them at 1 EUR is chosen, all seams are 1 cm.
