The ultimate in effortless boy-meets-girl cool, the Morningside pattern offers both dress and shirt styles with two sleeve variations. All views feature a narrow collar, concealed placket and slightly dropped shoulders. Choose the classic cuffed sleeve for a versatile wardrobe workhorse or the flounced sleeve for a more whimsical silhouette. Both dresses have a roomy fit, in-seam pockets and a curved high-low hemline. The shirt too has a boxy cut and is the perfect pairing for your favourite high-waisted pants.

Cute shirt, clear instructions

Firstly, this is a great pattern, the instructions and pictires were clear and very easy to follow.  I have done collars before, but not often.  I had no trouble with this or the hidden placket, which I thought was going to be really hard.  After making a toile, I did one small adjustment and sewed the button holes before inserting the placket, but other than that nothing.  The pattern fit really well and  sewing instructions were in a logical order.  Although I loved the idea of flouncy sleeve, I was really nervous of it would be "too much".  Now its finished, I love it, just the right amount for this drapey fabric I chose.  A very good experience from this pattern, I will definitely make again as I love a popover.

Jackie's interpretation

I really enjoyed using this pattern. I have made several shirts before tackling this , but even so I found the instructions made the daunting placket and collar relatively easy .

I went a bit off piste, but I love all the features. It has a lovely balance of masculine and feminine .

I will definitely be making another one .

I would recommend this pattern if you are doing your first shirt !

Morning side shirt with statement sleeves

This pattern has 2 sleeve variations and can be made into a dress or a shirt. My sleeves are a combination of both views. I wanted to use as much of this lovely embroidered border as possible.

It's a boxy/relaxed fit, I sized down.

The instructions are very good. I messed up the placket but I think it's still wearable. I will definitely make more effort on accurate marking next time.

I can highly recommend this pattern!
