Inspiration...Striped Button Down Shirt

 Fall is approaching and we'll soon be needing long sleeved shirts.  Here's a great example:


This is Lafayette 148 Ruxton Pencil Striped Button Down Shirt. Price tag: $448.00.  Details:  Approximately 28" long down center back, spread collar, concealed button front, long sleeves, button cuffs, back yoke, chest patch pocket, relaxed silhouette, side slits with rounded hem.  Check Neiman Marcus for closer details.

Here are a couple of options:


This is the Archer Button Up pattern by Grainline Studio.   View A is a classic shirt pattern.  This one is in my stash and I will need to get it fitted.  

This pattern would also work:


This is the Classic Shirt by Liesl & Co.  Although this pattern gives you the same basic silhouette as the Archer, this one has a darts which will give it a better fit.  

As for the concealed button front, here's a method of making a hidden placket at Threads - How to Make a Hidden Button Placket.

Hope you're inspired to create something beautiful.

Happy Stitching!
