Today's inspiration is an oversized button-down shirt. I really like the fabric on this shirt.
This is the Striped Cotton Oversized Amagansett Shirt by Lafayette 148 New York. Price tag: $698.00. Details: exaggerated oversized shape, dropped shoulder, long sleeve, button front with adjustable cuffs, shirttail hem, layered double pocket, 100% cotton, machine washable. Note - it is not mentioned in the description but the shirt also has a hidden front placket.
This shirt is really large. I am not a smal person and I think that I could wear a size small which has a bust of 50 1/2-inches. That would still give me around 7-inches of ease. Here is a pattern that has the same oversized shape:
This is the Roan Tunic pdf pattern by Seamwork. This is fairly close to the inspiration photo. The inspiration shirt also have a back yoke and a back pleat. You could always add the back yoke. If I were making this shirt, I would definitely be changing the pockets. Hope you are inspired to create something wonderful.
Happy Sewing!
