Fitted Collared Button-Front Shirt

Fabric & Materials

Fabric recommendations: blouse fabric made of natural or blended fibers. YOU WILL ALSO NEED: fusible interfacing; 10 buttons. IF THE PATTERNS HAVE A DOUBLE CONTOUR, SEAM ALLOWANCES ARE INCLUDED. IF THE CONTOUR IS SINGLE, THE PATTERNS ARE WITHOUT SEAM ALLOWANCES. SEAM ALLOWANCES: Hem allowance for the bottom of the garment – 1.5 cm, hem allowance for the bottom of the sleeve – 1.2 cm, other allowances – 1.0 cm. ATTENTION! FIRST, 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 details).
