Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This is a classic pattern, I am sure that almost everybody has tried it!
All credits to Mirela (member of Burda), who explained how the instructions should be read and even wrote a tutorial for me!
Well, I got stuck on the collar/neck bit. Now it makes perfect sense and I will ty it again!
You will certainly notice the oversized collar, that was deliberate and definitely not an error :-))
I have teamed the shirt with a simple Tommy Hilfiger jeans skirt and a Next belt for a country casual style look.
Material Notes
Good quality pink gingham. Paid three times the normal price because i decided to purchase it from a department store. Also used Dylon starch spray to give it a tidy, “crispy” look.

Then make it! :-) I never thought I can make a shirt. I believe it takes a good fabric and loads of ironing. It did not look encouraging at all when I started it, and nearly gave up when I had to attach the collar. Now this is my favourite shirt for weekends with kids.

Many thanks. You do find this gingham quite a lot in the UK, at different prices and various standards of quality. My local fabric shop sells it for £2/meter. I bought it from John Lewis department store at £8 or £10 a meter, cannot remember. It is worth it though, because it is a lot thicker and wears better.

I wanted to add one more thing, just in case someone decides to make this. I have purchased the pattern online and printed it at home. I tried to print it at 90% or so, but it did not work, so it was the actual size. I used size 36! with very little allowance when I cut the pieces. I am a size 8 – 10 uk, but I would say around the bust I am a definite 10, which will make me a 38 in European sizes. The finished top looks like an UK 12, that would be a 40. I also chopped off about 10 centimeters off the bottom, because it simply looked too long. I can still tuck it in the skirt. Just a tip, cut your size without allowance and then still use 1.5 cms allowance.

Thanks, you are too kind! It has staretd to grow on me. I noticed from completed project list that everyone has got that collar big, perhaps it should be like that. God, I never worked so hard for only a blouse. The other tops took me a day (or even an evening) on average. OOps I got 3 stars rating, so something must be wrong!

Oh! I love it Irina! The collar looks perfect! Looks so nice with the jeans skirt, I really like your feminine style. How did I miss this pattern? I’m on my way to choose a fabric for it right now.
