This shirt has a design with a slightly larger collar than a normal stand-collar shirt.
It is made to be worn with the top button open, so the facing is drafted a little wider.
The shirt is worn with the chest slightly open and the hem left out over the pants.
The sleeves are short and gently spread toward the cuff.
The body length is drafted slightly longer, making it suitable as a base for various designs.
After printing, please join the pages along the matching lines and cut them out.
Seam allowances are already included in the pattern, so you can use it as it is.
What are “Grainline” and “Cut on fold”? Please refer to this page.
