Let's draft the pattern for this classy shirt.
You can sew it in a variety of different weights, it can become a jacket or coat or even a dress.
The original piece is done with cotton twill and organza sleeves ;) To draft the pattern, start from a basic block with darts and minimum 10cm ease at bust, and matching sleeve.
You can learn our method for drafting perfectly made to measure basic blocks (contoured ones, and the ones with wearing ease) and for fitting them in our basic blocks course/module 1.
First, draw the new neckline widening neckline 4 to 6cm from high shoulder point. Widen shoulder dart by 1,5cm at front neckline.
From center front add 6 to 8cm outwards for double breatsed buttoning.
Then redraw armhole inwards by reducing shoulder top by 1 to 2cm.
Redraw the hemline shaping it slightly shorter at sides.
Cut through alòl front lines, then cut through dart lines to close shoulder dart.
See how front has changed?
Draw a matching slash line on back and cut through it.
