It has that something

A review of The Assembly Line Puff Shirt

Reviewed by Anni on 6th April, 2019

Made myself one in size L without any alterations from TAL’s combed wool fabric. Very well drafted pattern pieces, nicely designed, clear instructions. Not super happy with the fit, though. The shirt looks a bit cropped and the neckline is a tad too wide and high to rest properly on my shoulders. The sleeves are lovely, but I had to redo the cuffs, because the instructions left me with a bulky seam over double-folded elastic (most likely my misinterpretation). The fit is worse on the back as the neckline hangs quite low and there’s too much fabric below the shoulder blades. Edit: upgraded my review, I got excellent customer service from the Assembly Line who kindly sent me a more detailed diagram of how to insert the elastic and sew in the cuffs. Super!
