This is a Colette Pattern – it’s is very heavily altered – I don’t think there was one seam or part of this shirt that didn’t fit out of the package. the neckline has been lowered as well as the shoulders, the back has been taken in. I also lengthened it all around and did some adjustments at the bottom of the armholes.
Buttons up the back are fabric covered and look very sharp – like wearing this and another I made with skirts and dress pants – looks just as good tucked in as out.
Would highly suggest doing a few fittings for this – would also suggest having a machine with a very accurate blind hemming foot/settings. I did the first one I made by hand and it’s fine but the machine blind hemming looks better and is faster.

It looks very nice. So far, I have liked every version of this top which I’ve seen. Too bad you had to do so many alterations.
