Details: Collared neckline, concealed button placket, long sleeves, wide button cuffs, box pleat at back yoke, relaxed silhouette, vented sides, low hip length (approximately 26" from shoulder to hem), and polyester.

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.
Hope you're inspired to create something beautiful.
Happy Stitching!
