I’ve lost count how many times I’ve made this now! I think this is my fifth!
The Classic Shirt comes in 3 bust sizes. A/B, C and D. This is the bust size A/B made in a simple chambray to replace a Boden chambray shirt that I think I’ve had for over 10 years.
I’ve tried a new sew-in shirt interfacing for the collar and added a ribbon on the collar stand that I copied from a sewing tip that came up on my IG feed.
I particularly love this shirt pattern for the instructions of the professional way of attaching the collar into the collar stand, sewing the collar stand to the shirt first, instead of the entire collar and stand to the shirt, as may other patterns. Doing it this way means you don’t have to do any hand basting or stitching in the ditch at the base of the collar stand. And you get a beautiful finish on both the inside and the outside.
There’s lots more details in my blog post. https://lovelucie.org/2023/05/05/just-another-classic-shirt/
