In spring and autumn, with slim trousers, jeans or a straight skirt.
At the office or for everyday wear, on its own or under a sleeveless jacket.

Key Design Features

Front: Right and left fronts are cut differently. Each has a separate front band, cut double, interfaced, stitched along its outer edges, turned, and attached to the front with topstitching 0.5 cm from the seam. The right band follows a curve down and across; buttons run along its edge.

Back: One piece cut on the fold, longer than the front by the 2 cm hem allowance; the hem is overlocked, turned up and topstitched.

Finishing: Shoulder and side seams pressed towards the back and overlocked.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Curved faced front bands with close topstitching, set-in cuffs, a collar attached without a stand, and buttonholes along a curved edge.

Fabric Recommendations

Shirting fabrics from natural or blended fibres.

Additional Supplies

Fusible interfacing (collar, cuffs, front bands)

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, they include seam allowances. If the contour is single, the patterns do not include seam allowances. Seam allowances: Hem allowance for the back bottom – 2 cm; other seams – 1 cm. Attention! First of all, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90 cm to 150 cm) to determine how much material you will need (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces). When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

- Right front – 1 piece
- Left front - 1 piece
