So this the Vogue 8772 fitted shirt with a lot of adjustments that others don’t seem to have found necessary.
I wanted a warm slim fitted shirt to tuck into my work trousers and not be too bulky under the jumpers we are all wearing in this weather at the moment.
I have to admit, however, it wasn’t the pattern, it was me that caused most of my issues. I’ve since read the back of the pattern packet and noted the fabric recommendation for this shirt was a lot lighter weight, a chiffon or light weight silk, rather than this cotton which would explain most of the adjustments I had to make.
It’s classed as a Vogue ‘easy’ pattern it’s definitely more ‘intermediate’.
I went with the size 12 for measurements bust 34”, waist 26.5”, hip36” but graded up to a size 14 around the waist. My measurements are 34”, waist 29”, hip 37” and I checked against the finished measurements for ease. It’s a fitted shirt so I wanted shape around the waist but still with ease to be comfortable.
I absolutely love the resulting shirt but I did end up re making the sleeves. All the details of the adjustments I made to the sleeve head, armscye, length and width are on my blog post. https://lovelucie.org/2023/02/01/vogue-8772-fitted-blouse/
It was worth persevering. I now have a great pattern for a fitted shirt!
