Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I made this short-sleeved shirt from Butterick 3995, a vintage men’s shirt and pants pattern from 1957, for my partner Michael. The shirt has a back pleat, a back collar button (nice vintage detail), a button loop at the collar, and front facings rather than plackets. The collar is one piece, so there is no collar stand — a little easier. All in all, a great pattern!

Material Notes
I used a vintage printed cotton I found recently at the Chelsea Flea Market. The plastic buttons are also vintage.

That fabric choice gets better and better, and I thought it started out as brilliant. The whole shirt has an “insiders” vibe on fashion, style, and what’s next.

Which is funny since that fabric must be fifty years old.

This looks amazing. I love this print, it’s so wonderful, and that back button is really cool.

I just noticed your other photos and I have to say the details of this shirt are awesome. I want to make this shirt for my boyfriend if I can find that pattern.

If you can’t find this exact one, any vintage Fifties or early Sixties McCall’s will sew up similarly.

Oooh! I love it! Very nice colour and print too!

another nice project from your atelier! And I like your funny foto stories. Where do you get all this vintage patterns from, especialy the patterns from the 1930’s and 1940’s? Greatings from Rotterdam

Martin, I purchase nearly all my vintage patterns from either Etsy or eBay.
