First worn: June 2011
Wear again: Yes!

Total Cost: $8-10

I like this pattern a lot, but if you’re not familiar with shirt construction, the directions are a bit vague, particularly when it comes to attaching the tie collar (the best part). I’d also recommend using more smaller buttons, than the five large ones the pattern recommends. There appears to be some pulling at the buttons in the photos, which would largely go away if there were less space between the buttons (though I’d probably sew this with a tad more ease a second time around too).

    Love it and what a great total cost. Perfect posing too, this the type of finished project that makes me want to make it too.
